Motor connections post-striatal stroke. a Image of BDA-labeled connections from the motor cortex of stroke + vehicle and B stroke + 3.0 mg/kg mice. Circles show area measured for axonal fibers in contralateral striatum. Data were normalized to integrated density of the BDA injection site for each treatment group. c Total BDA⁺ fibers were increased at 6 weeks post-striatal stroke in the contralateral cortical tissue in stroke + 3.0 mg/kg versus stroke + vehicle; *P = 0.0009, F(4, 17) = 10.69. d Ipsilateral striatum showed no differences between groups F(4, 17) = 10.69. Error bars represent mean ± SEM for n = 4–5 per group. Scale bar = 50 μm and applies to all photomicrographs
