Popis: Background: Piliostigma reticulatum (Fabaceae) is a plant used in Cameroon for the treatment of madness and migraine. Aims and Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the memory-enhancing and antioxidant activities of the hydroethanolic leaves extract of PR in the monosodium glutamate-induced Alzheimer's disease model. Materials and Methods: The Y-maze, Radial-arm maze and Novel object recognition tests were used to assess short, and long-term memory. At the end of the experiments, the brains of mice were scavenged for biochemical and histological analysis. Results: It was observed that the hydroalcoholic extract of PR leaf significantly reversed the percentage of spontaneous alternation compared to the negative control group at the different doses tested (p
