Compounds with a common base structure (Pyrrolidone), Racetams tend to be Nootropics that act on and control the rate of excitatory processes in neurons. All racetams are synthetically made and promising brain enhancers

Racetams are a class of Nootropic compounds that are defined by their common pyrrolidone nucleus.
Although a very diverse class of compounds, most racetams can be summed up as compounds that act as positive modulators of AMPA and Glutamate receptors, especially those that exist near Cholinergic receptors. By activating excitatory responses near cholinergic receptors, racetams increase the activity of cholinergic receptors.
Many racetams are suspected of also being Ampakines, compounds such as Aniracetam that act preferentially on AMPA receptors.
It is generally advised to combine a racetam with a Cholinergic (preferably one that is also an acetylcholine substrate, such as Choline or DMAE).
Racetams, like Cholinergic, are a subset of nootropics.

Racetam
Like many nootropics, studies on these compounds are not as bulletproof as other well-established systemic compounds. Lots of 'evidence' for the efficacy of these compounds come from anecdotes and personal trails.
Caution should be taken whenever one is using neuroactive supplementation.
