European mistletoe has been traditionally used for central nervous system disorders, but little is known about its neuropharmacological activity. This study aims to investigate the effects of Viscum album L. on motor and anxiety-related behavior in mice. The study found that the extract of mistletoe had a significant calming effect on the mice, reducing anxiety and improving motor behaviors. This highlights the potential neuropharmacological activity of European mistletoe in treating CNS disorders.
