摘要

Camellia.sinensis.commonly.known.as.green.tea,.is.mainly.cultivated.in.tropical.and.sub.tropical.climate..To.the.best.of.our.knowledge.the.plant.is.so.far.reported.only.for.memory.enhancing.properties..In.this.content.the.neuropharmacological.study.of.camellia.sinensis.for.anxiolytic.activity.was.assessed. by.hole. board. test,.Y.maze. test,. social. interaction.test,.foot.shock.induced.aggression.test.for.aqueous.extract.of.camellia. sinensis. .Two.doses.of..200.ml/.Kg.and.400.ml/.kg.of.aqueous.extract.of.camellia.sinensis.were.used ..The.result.from.this.study.strongly.suggests.that. camellia.sinensis.possess.varied.effects.on.the.CNS.including.anxiolytic,.activity..
