Effects of Melissa officinalis essential oil administration (MEO, 150 and 300 µL/L) on recognition memory in the novel object recognition (NOR) test. Galantamine (GAL, 1 mg/L) was used as a positive control. (A) Representative tracking plots of zebrafish exploratory behavior in the NOR arena; (B) Novel object (NO) preference, expressed as percentage of time spent exploring the novel object. FO – familiar object; NO – Novel object. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 10 per group). Statistical significance was assessed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test: *p < 0.05, and ***p < 0.001.
