The objective of this study was to evaluate the nootropic activity of BacoMind TM , an enriched phytochemical composition from Bacopa monnieri , in different learning and memory paradigms viz ., elevated plus maze, passive shock avoidance test and object recognition test. BacoMind was administered for 7 days at the dose of 40, 60 and 80 mg/kg to mice in elevated plus maze and passive shock avoidance test and 27, 40 and 54 mg/kg to rats in object recognition test. Scopolamine (0.3 mg/kg) was… Expand

Segregation between acquisition and long‐term memory in sensorimotor learning
TLDR
The results show that learning one task led to proactive interference to acquisition of the second, however, this interference was not accompanied by retroactive interference to consolidation of the first task, indicating that acquisition and consolidation can be uncoupled. Expand
