Abstract: The muscles of contralateral limbs and face were parlysed and rigid after unilateral mo-tor cortex lesioned, the paralytic degree of foreleg is more severe than that of hindleg, be-cause the damaged area was limited to the dorsal-lateral part of precentral gyrus and the lop of this area and paracentral lobe were not lesioned completely.The animal ware able to stand by two hindlegs and take food by contralateral hand, there fore, no trouble in their living was seen.The animals symptome were similar to those of human hemiplegia, stable and lasting.The model may be useful in studying functional recovery promoted by neuron transplanta-tion.
