Impact of shock or capsaicin treatment on long-term recovery. (A) Rats exposed to variable intermittent shock (Shocked) a day after injury exhibited poor locomotor recovery as indexed by the scale developed by Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan (BBB Score; Basso et al., 1995). (B) Exposure to capsaicin a day after injury undermined long-term locomotor recovery. Exposure to shock (C) or capsaicin (D) also slowed the recovery of weight. Error bars indicate the SEM (n = 6). *p < 0.05.
