Figure 6. Consequences of an early HI episode on the somatic development and reflexes of neonatal rat pups.

Developmental profile of somatic growth [body weight (A), body length (B), tail length (C)] and reflexes [righting reflex (D), cliff aversion reflex (E)] in sham-operated pups (n = 5, black) as well as in pups with mild/moderate outcome (n = 5, dark gray) and severely injured pups (n = 5, light gray). The dotted line marks the HI episode. Data are displayed as mean ± SEM.
