Description

Purpose:

• Test sex differences in a spatial (Escape Maze) and motor task (Log Roll)
• Manipulate E2 and aromatase levels in order to differentiate roles of E2 and aromatase in recovery post-CB lesion
• Confirm steroids aid recovery in spatial but not motor tasks post-CB lesion
• Determine whether steroids differentially influence male and female recovery in cognitive and motor tasks
