In the article titled “Zingiber officinale mitigates brain damage and improves memory impairment in focal cerebral ischemic rat” [1], there are concerns in relation to duplication in Figure 1(a), in which the panels for Aricept + MCAO and ZO1 + MCAO are the same. The authors apologized for their error and explained that this was inadvertently introduced during the preparation of the figures and that the Aricept panel was the original image.

Effect of Aricept, Vitamin C, Piracetam, and ginger (Zingiber officinale; ZO1 200) extract at dose of 200 mg/kg body weight on brain infarct volume. (a) Representative photographs of TTC-stained brain sections in each group. (b) Effect of Aricept, Vitamin C, Piracetam, and Zingiber officinale (ZO1 200) extract at dose of 200 mg/kg body weight on brain infarct volume. The results are expressed as mean ± S.E.M. (n = 6) -value < .05 as compared with vehicle plus MCAO.

The authors provided the replicate images for each treatment group, which are available in the supplementary materials. (available here)

Figure 1 has been corrected as follows to remove the duplicated image.
