FIG. 3. — Skilled motor reaching assessment of the right forelimb. (A) Qualitative reaching score. Drug+training animals performed significantly better then saline and drug-only animals on weeks 9 and 17 post-lesion. Training alone was more effective than drug after 1 month with no drug (week 17). (B) The advance, digits open, and pronation phases were enhanced compared to the saline group during week 17. (C) Quantitative reaching was impaired in all groups following injury, but all groups showed an increase in pellet retrieval over time. (D) The staircase-reaching test showed a severe deficit in grasping ability in all groups, with improvement in any group over time (↑ indicates retention period).
