Effects of EWH on short and long-term recognition memory of rats exposure to aluminum. After AlCl3 exposure for 60 (8.3 mg/kg bw per day – A,B) or 42 days (100 mg/kg bw per day – C,D), co-treated or not with EWH, object recognition task (OR) was used to evaluate memory. After training in the OR task, the rats’ short (STM) and long-term memory (LTM) are tested, considering test session performed 3 h and 24 h after OR training. During the training session the rats were exposed to two objects (“a” and “b”). In each test session one of the objects were replaced by a new one (“c”, in the STM test, or “d”, in the LTM test). Results are expressed as mean ± SD of the percentage of total exploration time. *P < 0.05 in one-sample t-test; theoretical mean of 50% (n = 8).
