Baseline values for the time taken to reach reward chamber (TRC) in the Hebb William Maze and transfer latency (TL) in the T-maze were recorded on Day 1. Mean of 5 sessions was calculated for each rat. Group I was normal control, group II piracetam standard, group III, IV and V received &lt;em&gt;Tribulus terrestris&lt;/em&gt; orally at 100mg/kg, 200mg/kg and 400mg/kg respectively for 14 days. At the end of 14 days, each rat was tested for TRC and TL and compared with the control group. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Group IV showed a significant decrease in TRC when compared to group I in Hebb William Maze (p&amp;lt;0.0001). Group IV also showed a significant decrease in TL when compared to group I in T-maze (p&amp;lt;0.0001). Group III showed a significant decrease in TL when compared to group I in the T-maze (p=0.035), however there was no decrease in TRC in this group.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The aqueous extract of fruits of &lt;em&gt;Tribulus terrestris&lt;/em&gt; showed a dose dependent beneficial effect in learning and memory models in rats, with 200mg/kg being most beneficial.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key words:&lt;/strong&gt; Hebb William Maze, Learning, Memory, T Maze, &lt;em&gt;Tribulus terrestris&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Research Article</style></work-type><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Natesh Prabhu, Sanjay Hadigal, Ullal Sheetal D&lt;sup&gt;*&lt;/sup&gt;, Sushma DS and Ashok Shenoy K&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Department of Pharmacology, Kasturba Medical College, Light House Hill Road, Mangalore-575001, Manipal University, Manipal, Karnataka, India.&lt;/p&gt;</style></auth-address></record></records></xml>
