[Effect of typical and atypical anxiolytics on the behavior and electrophysiological parameters of rats with model cerebrovascular pathology].

The influence a series of anxiolytics (tranquilizers) on behavioral disturbances was studied in outbread white male rats with cerebrovascular pathology modeled by ligation of common carotid arteries. All studied anxiolytics (diazepam, buspirone, mexidol) exhibited more of less pronounced protective action with respect to the pathology studied. The most significant protective effect was produced by the atypical anxiolytic mexidol.
