Mood

Studies show that aniracetam may help improve overall mood through its potent antidepressant and anti-anxiety effects.
1. In mice, aniracetam appears to exert potent anti-anxiety properties, which may be mediated by an interaction between cholinergic, dopaminergic and serotonergic systems. [21]
2. In rats, aniracetam acts more effectively at alleviating depression in subjects with brain dysfunction caused by aging. [22]
3. In rats, aniracetam exerts its antidepressant effect by modulating the activity of the AMPA receptor. [23-24]
4. In rats, aniracetam reduces submissive behavior, which is indicative of antidepressant activity. [25]
5. In animals, aniracetam administration reduces depressive symptoms related to mental disorders. [26]
