title: [The optimizing influence of melatonin on the behavioral activity of cognitive enhancers].
abstract: The pineal hormone melatonin (0.1 mg/kg) differently changed the behavioral shifts induced by piracetam, bilobil, and ginseng in the open-field and elevated plus-maze tests in rats. Melatonin more effectively optimized memory in the model of passive avoidance conditioned reflex. It is suggested that the observed enhancement of the specific activity of nootropic drugs is related to the melatonin-induced changes in the hippocampal activity.
