PTZ treated animals had increased escape latency suggesting impaired cognitive functions.
Fig. 7 Effect of Leea macrophylla on mean escape latency in acquisition trial for Wistar albino rats.
The mean escape latency for the trained rats decreased during the course of the 5-day trials.
For every trial, the escape latency from lamp actuation to paw withdrawal was recorded twice for each hind paw.
Fast and slow place learners were identified by their mean escape latency and cumulative distance to the goal during acquisition.
However, on the fourth and fifth day, the mean escape latency of the PC group was longer than that of the control group (P <0.01).
Similar, although slightly larger, overall effects were observed for escape latency (data not shown).
We first assessed the escape latency during the water maze training sessions.
Treated Tg2576 mice exhibited improvement in escape latency as compared to Tg2576 on the control diet.
The escape latency to the platform, quadrant occupancy and platform crossing-time were all recorded and analyzed.
Mean and cumulative Gallagher distances, escape latency, traveled distance and permanence in quadrants were calculated using the jTracks software.
