We report on the fabrication and magnetotransport characterization of hybrid graphene-based nanodevices with epitaxial nanopatterned La_(0.7)Sr_(0.3)MnO_(3) manganite electrodes grown on SrTiO_(3)(100). The few-layer graphene was deposited onto the predefined manganite nanowires by using a mechanical transfer technique. These nanodevices exhibit resistive switching and hysteretic transport as measured by current-voltage curves. The resistance can be reversibly switched between high and low states, yielding a consistent non-volatile memory response. The effect is discussed in terms of changes in the concentration of oxygen vacancies at the space charge region of the Schottky barriers building at the contacts
