Fig. 2. S. Orientails improved hippocampal dependent memory function in postoperative animals in dose-dependent manner. The mice demonstrated impaired object recognition memory function on postoperative day 3. (A) Timeline of the drug treatment and behavioral test. (B) Schematic diagram for novel object recognition test. (C) A shorter novel object exploration time was observed in the surgical group while S. Orientails extract increased exploration time of the novel object. Data are presented as the mean and SEM (n=6). ^*p<0.05 between groups.
