Boc2-treatment increases the recognition of a novel object in C57BL/6 mice.

<p>The bar graphs show the total time (seconds) spent exploring the objects used in the test during the 10-minute acquisition phase (left panel) and the % of time spent on the novel object in the subsequent 5-minute test phase (right panel) of Boc2-treated mice compared to PBS vehicle-treated mice. Values are expressed as median ± S.E.M. and representative of four different experiments involving 6 mice per group. ** <i>P</i><0.01 indicates significant values compared to PBS-vehicle treated mice (Mann–Whitney <i>U</i>-test).
