Hypertension causes slower sensorimotor recovery. (A) Both strains had significant neurological impairment (Modified Bederson’s Score) starting 24 h after stroke and up to day 14. (n = 6–12 per group) (One sample t-test compared to the maximum score of 8). (B) There was no significant difference between the 4 groups in object discrimination in the novel object recognition test at 2- and 12-weeks post MCAO. (n = 6–12 per group). (C) SHRs showed a trend for reduced total object exploration time at 2-weeks post stroke (p = 0.058, 2-way ANOVA). The difference disappeared at 12-weeks post-stroke. (n = 6–12 per group).
