Abstract

Subcortical white matter (WM) is a frequent target of ischemic injury and extensive WM lesions are important substrates of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) in humans. However, ischemic stroke rodent models have been shown to mainly induce cerebral infarcts in the gray matter, while cerebral hypoperfusion models show only WM rarefaction without infarcts. The lack of animal models consistently replicating WM infarct damage may partially explain why many neuroprotective drugs for ischemic stroke or VCI have failed clinically, despite earlier success in preclinical experiments. Here, we report a novel animal model of WM infarct damage with cognitive impairment can be generated by surgical implantation of different devices to the right and left common carotid artery (CCA) in C57BL/6J mice. Implantation of an ameroid constrictor to the right CCA resulted in gradual occlusion of the vessel over 28 d, whereas placement of a microcoil to the left CCA induced ∼50% arterial stenosis. Arterial spin labeling showed a gradual reduction of cerebral blood flow over 28 d post operation. Such reductions were more marked in the right, compared with the left, hemisphere and in subcortical, rather than the cortical, areas. Histopathological anal...Continue Reading

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.

Barrel cortex

Here is the latest research on barrel cortex, a region of somatosensory and motor corticies in the brain, which are used by animals that rely on whiskers for world exploration.
