The journal retracts the article “Sodium Benzoate, a Metabolite of Cinnamon and a Food Additive, Improves Cognitive Functions in Mice after Controlled Cortical Impact Injury” [1] cited above.
Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office regarding the integrity of a number of images presented in this publication [1].
Adhering to our standard procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and Editorial Board that confirmed multiple overlaps between sub-images within Figure 2 presenting different experimental conditions. While the authors fully collaborated within this process, supporting material and explanations provided did not meet the expectations of the Editorial Board. As a result, the Editorial Board has decided to retract this publication, as per MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30, accessed on 3 February 2026).
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences.
