A The experimental timeline of the behavioral procedure and ANA-12 injection. B Schematic showing the acute intraperitoneal injection of ANA-12 into adult C57BL/6 N mice. C In the SOR test, although both CT and ANA-12-treated mice showed preference to the novel location, CT mice had higher preference index than ANA-12-treated mice. D ANA-12-treated mice had a lower spontaneous alternation ratio in the Y-maze test than control mice. E The experimental timeline of the behavioral procedure and 7,8-DHF injection after ELS exposure. F Schematic showing the acute intraperitoneal injection of 7,8-DHF into adult C57BL/6 N mice. G In the SOR test, except that the ELS + Veh group failed to recognize the object placed in novel location, the other three groups performed well. H In the Y-maze test, microinjection of 7,8-DHF in DG did not significantly affect spatial working memory.
