Osthole Improves Spatial Memory Deficits in Rats via Hippocampal α1-Adrenergic and D1/D2 Receptors

The present study evaluated the effect of osthole, an active ingredient isolated from Cnidium monnieri L. Cusson, on spatial memory deficits caused by central neurotoxins using the Morris water maze in rats. The involvement of catecholaminergic receptors on the memory-enhancing effect of osthole in...
