Table 4. Total Motor Scores Recorded 3 Days after Ischemia for Experiments 1–3

Values are median ± interquartile range. A score of 9 indicates no deficit. n = 15–20 mice per experimental group.

BCAO = bilateral carotid artery occlusion; MAP, mean arterial pressure; hypotension = venous exsanguination as required to maintain. MAP at 35 mmHg throughout 10 min of BCAO; normotension = MAP of 80–110 mmHg.
