Abstract

Rumex acetosa (sorrel), used as a vegetable and traditional medicine, was investigated for effects on cognition. The extract enhanced learning and memory in vitro and in vivo by modulating NMDA receptor signalling and BDNF pathways, indicating a neuroprotective and cognition-enhancing potential.
