The performance in behavioral tests. A Mean escape latency calculated for each trial during the acquisition phase of the MWM task. B Effects of aluminaNP on STM, LTM and the memory retrieval during the probe trials. C Location of the nanoparticles in the hippocampal CA1 region. The yellow arrows indicated the location of the nanoparticles and the white scale bar presented at the bottom of the photomicrograph indicated 50 μm. D Total travel distance and E percentage of time spent in the center of the apparatus during the open field test. F Press time every min during the lever press test. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. *, P < 0.05, versus control group. The number of rats in each group was indicated in each column or legend
