Figure 1. The
path lengths in Morris water maze testing. The treadmill running caused
a significant enhancement learning and memory in rats of Group A compared
with the controls (C). Panel (a) mean (± SEM) path length to
reach the hidden platform in total 8 days have been calculated in the
four rat groups, A and B groups showed significant decreases compared
to the control (C) group (* p < 0.05, **p < 0.001). Panel (b)
shows that the path length decreased in each group especially during
the first days of the Morris water maze testing. When compared with
the controls (C) difference in the A group was clear already immediately
i.e. it was significant in days 1, 2, 7, 8 (* p < 0.05) i.e. the
chronic and continuing treadmill exercise promoted significantly this
kind of learning.
