In a study from 2001, subjects who were given Synapsa significantly improved in learning rate, memory consolidation, and processing of visual information. The same study also showed a reduced rate of forgetting information. A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial from 2002 found that subjects showed improved retention of information when taking Synapsa. In another double-blind, placebo-controlled study, participants who took Synapsa showed significant improvement in information processing, working memory, and accuracy in completing complex cognitive tasks. A more recent study from 2012 showed improved information processing and decision making in multitasking situations.
