Spatial memory and tracks of mice in the Morris water maze test. (a) Typical swimming routes of mice in varied groups. (b) A quantitative exploration of the time in the target quadrant in varied groups. (c) A quantitative exploration of the number of platform crossings in varied groups. (d) A quantitative exploration of the time of escape latency for finding the platform in varied groups. Sham: control group; I/R: ischemia-reperfusion group; I/R + Dex: dexamethasone group. Data are displayed as mean ± SD (n = 12 in every group);  < 0.05 vs. sham;  < 0.05 vs. I/R.
