Recurrent seizures characterize epilepsy, a category of neurological disorder. Epileptic seizures can result in sudden changes in brain electrical activity. Piracetam is a cyclic aminobutyric acid derivative with neuroprotective effects. We aimed to evaluate piracetam's neuroprotective, anticonvulsant, and anti-anxiety effects in the pentylenetetrazole
