Overall an interesting nootropic, which helps with focus and the consolidation of new information into long-term memory. Piracetam - Another nootropic from the racetam family that improves cognition. It acts as a positive allosteric modulator of the NMDA glutamate receptor, which proved essential in learning and memory.
