This study investigates the mechanisms of action of Bacopa monnieri, better known as water hyssop or brahmi, a plant that is widely used in India and elsewhere. In Ayurvedic medicine, this herb is used to promote intelligence and memory. The results suggest that this is due to the protection that this plant exerts on the neural pathways against oxidative stress.
