FG labeling of pyramidal neurons in the ipsilesional cortices of the CFA and RFA. The number of positive pyramidal cells in the CFA was sharply reduced after ICH and was not increased by BMSC transplantation (A-C, and G). By contrast, the number of FG-labeled cells was significantly increased in the RFA after ICH, and the effect was enhanced by BMSC administration (D-F, and H). The schematic drawing of the forelimb areas of the rat brain is shown in (I). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, #P < 0.001, ns = not significant. Scale bar = 200 μm.
