Repeated administration of almonds increases brain acetylcholine levels and enhances memory function in healthy rats while attenuates memory deficits in animal model of amnesia

Highlights • Scopolamine induced memory deficits and reduced cholinergic function. • Almond attenuated scopolamine induced memory impairment and enhanced cholinergic function. • Study suggests a role of cholinergic system in memory improving effects of almond.
