Motor deficits and abnormal myelination in mature animals after H-I at P2. Animals receiving H-I (n = 11) performed significantly worse on motor testing (rod walking, tied p = 0.04; beam walking, tied p = 0.02; and stair climbing,p < 0.0001) than controls [unmanipulated littermate (n = 8) and sham-operated (n = 2)]. For rod and beam walking, score 2, normal; 1, impaired; and 0, unable to perform task. For stair climbing, animals were scored for the number of foot slips while climbing. Values are mean of the median score ± SEM. HI, Hypoxia-ischemia.
