Abstract
The use of piracetam from the 8th to the 20th day of postnatal development prevents disruption of the elaboration of the conditioned bilateral avoidance reflex in the shuttle box in mature male offspring of rats which had received ethanol intragastrally from the 1st to the 20th day of gestation. When used for 13 days one month prior to conditioning, piracetam acts with less efficiency on mature animals, while the same duration of treatment just before conditioning does not affect the impairment of conditioned reflex elaboration.
