We studied the effect of a composition of major and trace elements including calcium chloride, sodium chloride, iron (II) sulfate, zinc sulfate, chromium (III) chloride, and potassium bromide on orientation and exploratory behavior and conditioned response of animals in the open field test and conditioned drinking response in a multiple T-maze with three junctions. The test compound exhibited psychostimulant and nootropic activities.
