Figure 6. Post-stroke ISP treatment leads to enhanced functional recovery in mice.
(A) Experimental timeline.
(B) Representative MRI images at different coronal levels.
(C) At day 1 after stroke, before any treatment, the 2 groups of animals have similar infarct sizes and distributions. Post-stroke ISP treatment leads to enhanced general and fine locomotor functions as well as improved cognitive skills.
(D) General locomotor performance was measured by automated open field chambers for 1 h.
(E and F) Fine motor function was measured by the adhesive tape removal test (E) and cognitive function was measured by Barnes maze at 4 weeks after stroke (F).
*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, 2-way repeated-measures (RM) ANOVA for (D) and (E) and Student’s t test for (F). Each data point represents an individual mouse, data pooled from 2 independent cohorts.
