Schedule of drug treatment and experiment orders. Green tea extract (GTex), EGCG, and PTX were administrated orally 1 h before the surgery. The oral administration to rat continued once daily for 7 days and 1 h prior to training or testing. Four to seven days after surgery, the spatial memory test (SMT) of the Morris water maze (MWM) was performed 4 trials a day for 3 consecutive days, followed 24 h later (day 7) by the reference memory test (RMT).
