A negative influence of heavy metals on many systems of the body including CNS is well known. Employees in the industry of heavy metals suffer from neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases [1]. Children who live in industrial cities exhibit signs of retardation of neuropsychic development, including memory, learning, motor function, and speech, as well as a decrease in IQ and other alterations [2-4]. Neuropsychotropic drugs, particularly nootropics, which enhance learning and memory, are widely used [5].
