Model mice with acquired memory disorder were induced by scopolamine.Baihui,Dazhui,Shenting and Zusanli were chosen as the acupoints.FM is composed of Cornu Cervi Pantotrichum,Radix Ginseng,Rhizoma Polygonati,Fructus Lycii,Fructus Alpiniae Oxyphyllae,Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae,etc..The methods of platform jumping and finding food in complex maze were used to observe their learning and memory. Results Compared with Group B,incubation period was prolonged,electric shock time shortened and errors reduced at 20 min and 24h after modeling in Group C and Group E,and time for finding food in complex maze was shortened in Group C and Group D(P
