Impaired spatial working memory and reduced hippocampal neuronal density in a rat model of neurocysticercosis

Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is the most common parasitic disease affecting the nervous system and is a leading cause of acquired epilepsy worldwide, as well as cognitive impairment, especially affecting memory. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of NCC on spatial working memory and its co...
