Recovery of motor function on treatment with TST and 5-Azd-dC after a photothrombotic chronic stroke. TST and TST combined with 5-Aza-dC treatment helped improve recovery of motor function after stroke; the staircase test (A) and mNSS (B), usage scores of damaged limb (C). TST combined with 5-Aza-dC enhanced motor recovery in the treated group, as shown in the staircase test performance (A). Pre-indicated 1 day before rehabilitation after a stroke. ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001 vs. C (sham control), # p < 0.05; ## p < 0.01, ### p < 0.001 vs. S (Stroke). @ p < 0.05 vs. SR (TST treated stroke). Results are presented as the mean ± SEM, n = 12/group. Lt. paw: impaired left paw.
