Analysis of the histograms in F reveal that initially, highly correlated place cells in sham mice are in particular found in reward zones, while in the late phase after stroke, animals of the Recovery group show a significant concentration of place fields close to reward zones compared to other corridor regions and compared to sham. Bar plots in D and G are presented as mean values +/- SEM. Boxplots are drawn with the box extending from the 25th to 75th percentiles, with the centre line at the median. Whiskers reach to the minimum and maximum values of the distribution. Group differences were evaluated with two-way repeated measures ANOVA with the Greenhouse-Geisser correction and Tukey-Kramer multiple comparisons test. Asterisks indicate significances: * p < 0.05, * *p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.
