High-Pressure Pneumoperitoneum Aggravates Surgery-Induced Neuroinflammation and Cognitive Dysfunction in Aged Mice

Figure 2

The effect of different pneumoperitoneal pressure levels on surgery-induced postoperative cognitive impairment in aged mice. (a) The average speed reflects motor activity and exploratory activity. (b) The recognition index (RI) reflects the object recognition memory. (c) Contextual fear memory reflects the hippocampal-dependent fear memory. The freezing time was used to measure the memory and learning abilities. A decrease in the freezing time indicates reduction in these abilities. (d) Cued fear memory reflects the hippocampal-independent fear memory. The data are presented as ( per group). ; .
