Figure 11.

Time course of changes in the amplitude of field excitatory post-synaptic potentials (fEPSPs) recorded from the hippocampus in rats subjected to cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. Each symbol represents the mean±SEM for 10 sweeps. Administration of α-terpineol (100 mg/kg) facilitated the induction of LTP in the hippocampus which was persistent over 2 hours. Differences between the fEPSPs amplitudes of ischemia group and the α-terpineol -treated group were statistically significant all the time after HFS (0-5 min after HFS, P<0.001, 5-50 min after HFS, P<0.01, 55-120 min after HFS, P<0.0001; Two-way ANOVA)
