Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion induced by permanent occlusion of bilateral common carotid arteries in rats is associated with behavioral alterations.

Tinosporacordifolia (100 mg/kg, p.o. x 15 days) attenuated the long-term hypoperfusion induced anxiety and listlessness (open field paradigm) along with improvement of learning and memory deficits (Morris water maze testing). The present data report the protective role of Tinosporacordifoliain cerebrovascular insufficiency states and dementia.
