A standardized neurologic deficit score (A) was assigned blindly on days 1, 2, 3 and 8 after CA revealing significantly greater neurologic injury on days 1 and 2 resulting from A-CA (green; n=10) vs. VF-CA (red; n=8) both of which far exceeded sham animals (blue; n=5). Fear conditioning (B) 8 days after CA shows significantly (p=0.03) diminished cue mediated freezing (memory of the fear conditioning) following A-CA vs. VF-CA (n=7) with similar freezing noted between VF-CA and sham animals (blue, n=5). Symbols: * p<0.05, ** p<0.01, *** p<0.001
