Fig 6. Representation of the time spent on two and four paws for the rats in normal situation and after the UVN.

Fig 6

The time spent on two and four paws is represented as a percentage of time compared to the time analysed over the 5 minutes of acquisition. In control situation (A) there is a statistically significant increase in the time spent on four paws and a significant decrease in the time spent on two paws over the first three days after the lesion, relative to the pre-operative condition (a; p <0.05). These changes are followed by a return to preoperative values from D7 in both cases. In reactivated condition (B), there is a statistically significant increase in the time spent on four paws and a significant decrease in the time spent on two paws over the first three days after the lesion, relative to the pre-operative condition (a; p <0.05). Statistically significant change relative to the pre-operative condition is prolonged over the D7-D21 period, only for the time spent on two paws. Over this period, drastic reduction of visual and proprioception inputs induces significant changes (b; p <0.05) in both the time spent on two and four paws relative to the control situation.
