Cognitive function was evaluated using the Morris water maze after animals received different cell transplantations.

The HI-injured rats showed impairment in learning ability, which was improved by all cell therapies (n = 9). (a) No significant differences in normalized time were found among the various treatments in learning ability. In memory function, the numbers of platform crosses were significantly increased in rats that received the E+N combined treatment (n = 9). (b) Motor function was measured by grip strength and showed improvements in rats with ASCs, EPCs, or the E+N combined treatment (n = 9). (c) *p < 0.05 compared to PBS-injected rats.
