Notes: Means in the same column with different superscript are significantly different (P<0.05), while sharing any same letters signify insignificant differences. CON, SCOP, Piracetam and LC is control, vehicle scopolamine control, positive drug control and Lactobacillus casei-01 group, respectively. L-LSPC and H-LSPC is low and high dose of LSPC group, respectively. L-LSPC+LC is L-LSPC and LC combination group. H-LSPC+LC is H-LSPC and LC combination group.
