Rota-rod test to assess the behavioral motor outcome in rats transplanted with VNSCs at 7 and 21 days after spinal cord injury. On the 7^th day of assessment, VNSC transplanted groups showed a significant motor response compared to NSC-transplanted animals. Although assessment on the 21^st day showed improved motor response in normal NSC-induced groups, VNSC transplantation produced a prominent motor behavioral response. Values are represented as mean ±SEM. * p<0.05 compared to PBS transplanted group; ^# p<0.05 compared to normal NSC-transplanted group.
