Evaluation of Cranberry as a Novel Therapeutic Strategy for Intracerebroventricular (ICV) Quinolinic Acid-induced Cognitive Impairment in Rats

These findings indicate that cranberries may have neuroprotective properties, presumably through antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-excitotoxic processes that promote brain plasticity, neurogenesis, and neurotransmitter systems. This establishes the potential of cranberries as a prospective natural treatment for cognitive deficits and neurodegenerative illnesses, suggesting the need for additional research to understand the underlying mechanisms and human application better.
