Abstract
Abstract The effects of desmopressin acetate (DDAVP) were studied in normal males. Subjects were given 60μg of DDAVP, a placebo, or no treatment and were given several behavioral tests. DDAVP enhanced learning of all problems on a concept shift task but had no effect on visual memory, anxiety, blood pressure or heart rate. It was suggested that DDAVP may influence memory via its actions on attention.
