Abstract	Chemical analysis and evaluation of the biological and behavioral activities of extracts of fruits rich in phenolic compounds (Blueberry and blackberry). The objectives of this study were: comparing total phenolics, total anthocyanins and antioxidant capacity in appropriate berry samples from selected cultivars of the Vaccinium ashei and Rubus. A reliable HPLC procedure for determining the profile, quantifying and isolating of major compounds present in the extracts have been developed. The potential effects of the extracts were observed by chemotaxis assay, by acetilcholinesterasic inhibition, and their antioxidant properties evaluated using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) in vitro. Otherwise, we examined the antinociceptive, antiinflammatory, cognitive, anti-epileptic and neuroprotective effects of the extract of Vaccinium ashei in several experimental models in vivo, as well as biogenic amine concentration, in specific brain regions in rats and mice. In addition, it was tested the efficacy of oral administration of cyanidin-3-glucoside extracted from Rubus sp. in lipid peroxidation in brain rats (TOSC). An HPLC method for the analysis of anthocyanidins and flavonoids in berries extracts have been developed. The data obtained show that various compounds are common in the fruits analyzed, and four flavonoids were identified: hyperoside, quercetrin and isoquercitrin occurring in both fruits, and rutin occurring only in Rubus. Five anthocyanidins were identified in Vaccinium: delphinidin, cyanidin, peonidin, petunidin, and malvidin, and in Rubus cyanidin 3-glucoside was the major anthocyanin. We found that the flavonoids fractions significantly have inhibited migration celullar and acetilcholynestarase, and both total extract and fractions exhibited strong antioxidant activity. The extract (a mixture from the different cultivars) significantly enhanced short and long-term memory in the inhibitory avoidance task, induced an increase in the number of crossings during open field habituation, and had an anxiolytic effect in the elevated plus-maze task. These processes are accompanied by alterations in serotonin (5-
