The psychostimulant modafinil facilitates water maze performance and augments synaptic potentiation in dentate gyrus

Modafinil is a psychostimulant drug used widely for the treatment of narcolepsy, which also has additional positive effects on cognition. Here, we investigate the effects of modafinil on behavioural performance and synaptic plasticity in rats. Improved acquisition in the water maze task was observed...
