Figure 2. Tactile stimulation restored forelimb function after ischemic lesion.

A, Success rate in the single pellet reaching task; B, Number of pellets obtained; C, Sequence of video frames depicting grasp, supination 1 and 2, and release components; D, Qualitative assessment of reaching components. Note that the ischemic lesion reduced quantitative (success, pellets obtained) and qualitative aspects of skilled reaching. Cumulative effects of prenatal and adult stress further reduced skilled reaching ability. TS promoted reaching success and movement ability. *p<0.05, **p<0.01.
