Therapy Restores Motor Control in Rats after Stroke (3 of 5)

Caption

A rat grasping for a piece of sugar. The photos show an entire grasping sequence of a rat after a stroke: The upper grasping sequence depicts prototypically disturbed motor function after a stroke. The lower grasping sequence shows restored grasping kinematics due to growth-promoting immunotherapy and rehabilitative training. This image relates to a paper that appeared in the 13 June, 2014, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by A.S. Wahl at ETH Zurich in Zurich, Switzerland, and colleagues was titled, "Asynchronous therapy restores motor control by rewiring of the rat corticospinal tract after stroke."
