Novel object recognition memory in mice treated with a systemic administration of VF (1, 3 or 10 mg kg-1) of V. glechomifolia 30 min before the training. Memory retention was tested 24 hours after training. Data are mean SEM exploratory preferences during training (light columns) or test (dark columns) trials.
