Figure 6. The whisker-paw test.
(A) Ipsilateral whisker test, and (B) cross-midline whisker test of rats subjected to PT at various times of recovery. Animals were placed in a standard (STD) or an enriched (EE) environment at 2 days after stroke. The normal score before stroke for rats is 10. Each dot corresponds to a rat value and the black line corresponds to the median value for the group. (n = 7 for each housing condition) (*: p<0.05 when STD compared to EE; #: p<0.05 when STD and EE where compared to the respective values before stroke).
