Fig. 1. Locomotor outcomes as evaluated by Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan (BBB) scoring (n=5/daily). The BBB scores were very low in both groups to 3 days post-injury; on day 8 post-injury, the BBB score in the lithium-treated group was significantly higher than that in the vehicle-treated group. This difference persisted until 14 days post-injury. **P<0.01 vs. vehicle-treated group.
