a Time needed to find the platform 12 weeks after cardiac arrest; second Morris Water Maze paradigm 7 weeks after first paradigm; 8 min (min) cardiac arrest (CA) study group (n = 12); control, untreated control group (n = 10). Mean time in seconds (sec) ± SEM to find the hidden platform in 2 trials (maximum time 90 s) daily (a, b) on 4 consecutive days (1–4). b and c Probe trial 24 h (b) and 7 days (c) after last trial; mean time in seconds ± SEM (p values target sector vs each other quadrant * p < 0.05, n.s. not significant). TS target sector = SE south east sector, NW north west sector, NE north east sector, SW south west sector
