Behavioural deficits following diffuse traumatic brain injury (TBI).

<p>Changes in behaviour pre- (day −1) and post- (day +1) surgery for TBI (n = 7) and sham controls (n = 6). Each data point represents data from 1 animal. (<b>A</b>) Grip strength and motor co-ordination assessed using the rotarod: Performance for each animal is expressed as % of maximum possible rotarod score. (<b>B</b>) Balance and motor co-ordination: beam-walking scores (0 = perfect balance and ability to walk across beam; and 3 = unable to balance on or walk across beam) are displayed for each animal. For all data group mean ± SEM bars are overlayed on top of individual animal data for both TBI (n = 7) and sham (n = 6) controls. (*) <i>p</i>&lt;0.05.
