Neurobehavioral analyses after focal contusion in the rat.

<p>A) While differences in neurobehavioral severity score-revised (NSS-R) testing were seen between injured rats and both control and baseline at Day 1 post-injury, no treatment effect was observed at any time point in the intravenous rat mesenchymal stem cell (rMSC) cohorts. B) Rotarod testing also failed to distinguish between saline and rMSC treatment groups over the time course. C) Foot fault analyses found difference on Day 2 in the rMSC intracardiac cohort, but only in comparison to baseline. D) Foot fault analysis in the human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) intracardiac cohort similarly showed differences early after injury, which normalized over time. * = p < 0.05.
