Methylene blue restores spatial memory retention impaired by an inhibitor of cytochrome oxidase in rats

This study investigates the effects of methylene blue on spatial memory retention in rats with cytochrome oxidase inhibition, which impairs memory. Methylene blue was found to restore memory retention by improving mitochondrial function, suggesting its potential to treat neurodegenerative diseases. The study provides evidence that methylene blue enhances memory by

Extinction memory improvement by the metabolic enhancer methylene blue

This animal study examined the effects of methylene blue (MB), a metabolic enhancer, on extinction memory retention in rats. Results showed that MB-treated rats exhibited significantly lower freezing behavior in response to the conditioned stimulus, indicating improved retention of extinction memory. Additionally, MB increased brain cytochrome oxidase activity by 38%,
