Fig. 1: Observation of neurological function and recovery.

Neurological-function score of young and old gerbils after I/R (A). The maps of computer printouts of the swimming trajectories on the fifth day of each group (B). The time spent in the removed escape-platform quadrant (C). Number of crossings over the original platform position by gerbils (D) (n = 7 per group; *p < 0.05, significantly different from the corresponding young group, #p < 0.05, significantly different from the young I/R group). Bars indicate mean ± SD.
