Functional assessments in the rodent stroke model

Abstract: Stroke is a common cause of permanent disability accompanied by devastating impairments for which there is a pressing need for effective treatment. Motor, sensory and cognitive deficits are common following stroke, yet treatment is limited. Along with histological measures, functional outcome in animal models has provided valuable insight to the biological basis and potential rehabilitation efforts of experimental stroke. Developing and using tests that have the ability to identify behavioral deficits is essen… Show more

“…The corner test assesses sensory and motor asymmetries after ischemic injuries (17)(18)(19). The corner apparatus consists of two wooden boards (30 cm × 20 cm × 1 cm) that are attached to each other at a 30°angle.…”

“…Both tests are frequently used in ischemic injury models: The corner test is used to assess sensory and motor asymmetries (17)(18)(19), whereas the pole test is used to examine motor dysfunction (19,20). In the corner test, ET-1 injection with PBS to the right internal capsule resulted in a slight preference to turn right (Fig.…”

“…A grading scale of 0 to 8 is used to assess behavioral deficits after cerebral damage. 27 Zero value represents an animal without neurologic deficit and 8 represents an animal with high neurologic deficit.…”

“…It is important to note that the improved behavioral recovery in multiparous females may simply reflect the smaller infarct seen in these mice rather than an enhanced delayed angiogenic response. Behavioral deficits and recovery are known to be related to the location and severity of the initial stroke injury (30,31). However, the near complete preservation of sensorimotor and cognitive function in the multiparous mice is nonetheless impressive, given that the striatal infarct was prominent in both groups.…”
