Cyperus rotundus (CR) is a traditional medicinal herb, and recent studies demonstrated its pharmacological effects to cure neurological disorders. In our earlier reports, we also found that CR exerts anxiolytic effects and improves memory impairment in hypoxia-induced rats. In vitro CR also effectively ameliorates oxidative stress-induced SH-SY5Y neuronal cell damage. In the present study, we e...
