title: Comparison of behavioral effects of cortexin and cerebrolysin injected into brain ventricles.
abstract: We compared central effects of polypeptide preparations cortexin and cerebrolysin injected into brain ventricles of Wistar rats in doses of 1, 10, and 100 microg. Both drugs exhibited moderate psychoactivating effect, the effects cortexin were more pronounced compared to those of cerebrolysin in all tests.
