The adhesive removal test is reliable in evaluating sensorimotor function of mouse after cerebral ischemia [33]. This test was performed by attaching two small adhesive tape strips (0.3 cm × 0.4 cm) onto the bare part of both forepaws. The contact time (mouse began to react to the presence of the adhesive tapes: shaking paws or bringing paws to mouth) and removal time for each tape were recorded. The asymmetry magnitude of each parameter was also compared.
