Abstract
1. A new pyrrolidine derivative (levetiracetam), resembling piracetam, was given as antiepileptic concomitant drug to patients with chronic epilepsy. 2. In a single-blind add-on rising-dose study the cognitive side-effects were investigated twice after one week of administration. 3. The results did not show any significant changes in cognitive perf ormances.
