Effects of Ocimum basilicum L. Extract on Hippocampal Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and BDNF Expression in Amnesic Aged Rats.

The study investigated the effects of a plant extract (OB) on learning and memory in aged rats. Aging decreased cognitive function and increased inflammation and oxidative damage in the brain. However, OB administration for 8 weeks improved learning and memory and reduced inflammation and oxidative damage in the brain. This suggests that OB has neuroprotective effects and may be useful in treating age-related cognitive decline.
