Response and memory of mice in the passive avoidance test (PAT). (a) Quantitative analysis of the latency to enter the dark division in varied groups. (b) Quantitative analysis of the mistake times to enter the dark compartment 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.
