BCAS impairs short-term memory and spatial discrimination abilities in WKY rats. A: BCAS rats spend a smaller portion of the time exploring the novel object as depicted by reduced novel exploration quotient. B: in the 3rd week of Morris Water Maze (MWM), BCAS rats showed a significantly increased time to find the hidden platform, where Sham rats found the hidden platform in a significantly shorter time compared with 2nd week after the training. Each data point is mean ± SE. *Data different from Sham rats (P < 0.05). #Data different from Sham rats in the 2nd week (P < 0.05).
