Figure 1. H2S alleviated TBI-induced motor and spatial memory deficits and brain edema. (A) A wire-grip test was performed to analyze the motor function at 0 to 7d after TBI (n = 5). (B) A Rota-rod test was performed to analyze the motor function at 0 to 7d and 14d after TBI (n = 5). (C) A Morris water maze test was performed to test spatial memory ability on days 8 to 15 (n = 5). (D) A spatial probe test was performed to test spatial memory ability on days 16 (n = 5). (E) The pathological changes was analyzed by H&E staining. (F) The brain water content was measured at 24 h after TBI (n = 5). #P<0.05 vs. sham group.* P<0.05, vs. TBI and TBI+ vehicle groups. #P<0.05 vs. sham group.
