In the sevoflurane groups, rats breathed 2.5% sevoflurane in oxygen. The tail flick tests were performed on postnatal 8th, 15th, and 30th days to evaluate motor functions. At the end of the experiments, rats were sacrificed by decapitation, and their spinal cords were taken for histopathological evaluation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      There was a significant difference between the tail pulling times on the 8th and 30th days in both groups (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.036).
