Effects of global brain ischaemia on cognitive function after 2 min cardiac arrest (CA) (n = 6). Learning and memory performance were evaluated in novel object recognition (NOR) (a–d) and Morris water maze (MWM) (e–f) tasks before and 4 weeks after CA (n = 6). Performance on object recognition was tested 1 h (a–b) and 24 h (c–d) after training with two identical objects. In MWM task, spatial acquisition trial (escape latency (e) and time in target quadrant (f)) were performed in order to detect spatial learning and memory ability. Student Paired t-test, Data are expressed as mean ± SD.
