        abstract = {In this study, we observed the orientation behavior of aqueous, chloroform and alcohol extract of Cissus quadrangularis stem and leaves in proven fertile male albino rats towards female rats (licking & anogenital Sniffing) Towards environment (climbing & exploration) towards self (nongenital grooming& genital grooming). After dosing them with 100, 250 and 500mg/kg body weight once daily for 15 days prior to the test. The result shows that Cissus quadrangularis stem and leaves modified orientation behavior of treated rats in that they significantly influence licking & anogenital Sniffing towards female and also increase in self-orientation as compared to control (P<0.05). However treated males possess lack of interest in external environment as indicated by reduction in exploration climbing on cage wall. Hence the further study support the folklore use of Cissus quadrangularis as an aphrodisiac. Clinical toxicity symptoms such as respiratory distress, salivation, weight loss and change in appearance of hair as well as maternal mortality were not observed at any period of the experiment. The aqueous extract at the dose of 500 mg/ kg body weight had a pronounced effect on the orientation behavior.},
