Comparison of different therapies for acute stroke model with lesion size of A 5, B 10, C 15 and D 20 nodes, under different values of structural integrity of CC are given. Lesion is induced in the penultimate layer having a total of 30 nodes. [Key for x-axis: 10L (CIMT Exploratory under local plasticity), 11L (BMT Exploratory under local plasticity), 10G (CIMT Exploratory under global plasticity), 11G (BMT Exploratory under global plasticity)]. When the lesion size is low (5, 10 and 15 nodes), the network shows no preference for either plasticity condition over all values of structural integrity of the CC (p > 0.1 when comparing 10L with 10G and 11L with 11G. Each therapy is compared with the other under the same integrity condition). However, for lesion size of 20, global is preferred over local plasticity (p < 0.02 when comparing 10L with 10G and p < 0.025 when comparing 11L with 11G). These results are similar to what is observed in acute stroke condition with 100% integrity (Fig. 8)
