The purpose of this study to determine the potency of Myrmecodiaplatytyrea in reversing galactose induced-neurodegeneration in B6 albino mice as well as to compare the neuroprotective effects between Myrmecodiaplatytyrea with vitamin C in the object recognition test using Morris Water Maze by recording time needed to find hidden platform. Results show that vitamin C show more dominant neuroprotective effect compare Myrmecodiaplatytyrea in terms of spatial recognition and memory learning of B6 albino mice to find the hidden platform using Morris Water Maze.
