Inosine enhances functional recovery after stroke. Animals were trained to retrieve food pellets through a restricted opening with either paw before surgery and were then tested weekly beginning 1 week later by a blinded observer. Scores are reported as percentage of preoperative performance. a, Inosine improves functional recovery using the impaired paw. b, Animals show normal performance with the unimpaired paw after 2 weeks regardless of treatment. *, **, ***Differences significant at p < 0.05, p < 0.01, p < 0.001, respectively.
