Role of Prefrontal Cortex on Recognition Memory Deficits in Rats following 6-OHDA-Induced Locus Coeruleus Lesion

Figure 1

6-OHDA-induced LC lesion promotes recognition memory impairment in rats. Effect of 6-OHDA (5 μg/hem) into the LC on the percentage of time spent by the animals exploring the familiar and the novel objects in the ORT. (a) Investigation time in the training session. (b) Short- and (c) long-term object recognition memories. Data are shown as the of 10 animals per group. and compared to the familiar object in the same group (Student’s -test).
