10.22376/ijpbs.2019.10.1.p1-12 Volume 4 Issue 2 2013 (April - June) The present study was undertaken to evaluate the potential effect of methanolic and aqueous extracts of lessThan i greaterThan Taverniera cuneifolia lessThan /i greaterThan (Roth) Arn. for cognitive performance activity. Memory impairment was produced by administration of Scopolamine (2 mg/kg i.p) in Swiss albino mice. Elevated plus maze was used to asses learning and memory activity. lessThan i greaterThan Taverniera cuneifolia lessThan /i greaterThan extracts treated group decreased transfer latency in elevated plus maze which is an indicative of cognition improvement. The results of HPTLC and HPLC study of lessThan i greaterThan Taverniera cuneifolia lessThan /i greaterThan indicate the presence of Glycyrrhetinic acid as an active phytochemical constituent. Methanolic and aqueous extracts of lessThan i greaterThan Taverniera cuneifolia lessThan /i greaterThan has been demonstrated to improve cognitive process by enhancing memory in Elevated plus maze. The present study suggests that methanolic and aqueous extracts of lessThan i greaterThan Taverniera cuneifolia lessThan /i greaterThan might have increased brain acetylcholine level and hence it possess memory enhancing activity in Scopolamine induced amnesia model.
