A summary of mouse cohorts used for behavioral studies showing: the number of mice; magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 4 days poststroke; behavior tests done at 7 days poststroke or after treatment, 4–6 weeks poststroke; treatment for 3–4 weeks starting 1 week poststroke; and immunofluorescence (IF) following behavioral studies

EPM = elevated plus maze; OF = open field test; FST = forced swim test; TS = tail suspension test; NSF = novelty suppressed feeding test; MWM = Morris water maze; FLX = fluoxetine; Exc = exercise; Veh = vehicle
