Figure 3. Tactile stimulation offset effects of cumulative stress in skilled walking ability.

Figure 3

A, A rat performing the ladder rung walking task; B, Walking error rate; C, Walking time and score. Prenatal stress prolonged the time to cross the ladder at baseline and post-lesion periods. Cumulative stress exaggerated the effects of ischemia in limb placement and inter-limb coordination. TS reduced limb placement errors and improved time measurements and scores. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001.
