Fig. 3: Environmental enrichment promotes functional recovery after perinatal brain injury.

a, b Experimental groups tested on the 2-cm and 1-cm width inclined beam-walking task. c Quantification of foot slips for the 2-cm beam at P45 (from left to right: ****p < 0.0001, **p = 0.005, **p = 0.007) (NX, n = 12; NX-EE, n = 12; HX, n = 10; HX-EE, n = 12). d Quantification of foot slips for the 1-cm inclined beam at P45 (****p < 0.0001, **p = 0.009) (NX, n = 12; NX-EE, n = 12; HX, n = 10; HX-EE, n = 12). e Quantification of time to completion for the 2-cm beam at P45 (*p = 0.02, ****p < 0.0001) (NX, n = 12; NX-EE, n = 12; HX, n = 10; HX-EE, n = 12). f Quantification of time to completion for the 1-cm inclined beam at P45 (*p = 0.04, ****p < 0.0001) (NX, n = 12; NX-EE, n = 12; HX, n = 10; HX-EE, n = 12). Data expressed as mean ± SEM. One-way ANOVA followed by a Tukey’s post hoc test for multiple comparisons was used to compare differences between groups. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
