Fig. 4: Microglial depletion reduces locomotor recovery after SCI.

a Schematics of experimental design showing the timeline of microglia depletion, spinal cord crush injury, behavioral testing using the BMS score. b Locomotor function was assessed using the BMS score over a 28-day period after SCI (n = 4 per group). Data are expressed as mean ± SD. *p < 0.05.
