there is a interesting paper:
"Effects of antiepileptic drugs on working memory as assessed by spatial alternation performance in rats."
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=15582833&query_hl=6"... and phenytoin produced a modest but significant improvement in performance .."
good night
