Objective: The objective of the study was to investigate the ameliorative effects of resveratrol against aluminum- and fluoride-altered neurobehavioral activities.Methods: Aluminum chloride (100 mg/kg body weight [bw])+sodium fluoride (10 mg/kg bw), aluminum chloride (100 mg/kg bw) + sodium fluoride (10 mg/kg bw) + resveratrol (30 mg/kg bw), and resveratrol (30 mg/kg bw) alone were given orally to II, III, and IV groups, respectively, and Group-I was served as control for 8 weeks. The bw, brain
