Stem-leaf saponins from Panax notoginseng counteracts aberrant autophagy and apoptosis in hippocampal neurons of mice with cognitive impairment induced by sleep deprivation

The findings may contribute to the clinical application of SLSP in the prevention or therapy of neurological disorders associated with sleep deprivation.
