Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop a primate model for assessing EEG, behavior and histology, and to test the effect of NMDA receptor blockade in transient focal ischemia. Squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) under halothane anesthesia were subjected to 110 min of transient focal ischemia (n = 15) by temporary clip occlusion of the MCA. An eight-lead EEG was recorded. Neurobehavioral testing was done in a subgroup of animals (n = 6). Brain temperature (37.5 degrees C) was monitored and controlled to avoid hypothermia or intergroup temperature differences, and blood pressure was regulated to 60 mmHg. The entire brain was subserially sectioned, and 52 standardized coronal sections encompassing the infarct were examined histologically 2 wk after the ischemia. Animals were randomized to receive either (+)-5-methyl-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5,10-imine (MK-801) 1 mg/kg of maleate salt or carrier solution, 20 min and again at 12 h after the onset of ischemia. Cingulate and retrosplenial cortex were examined for NMDA-antagonist-induced neuronal necrosis. No reduction, or trend toward reduction of neurobehavioral deficit was seen with MK-801. MCA occulsion reduced EEG power over the ischemic hemisphere. MK-801 appear...Continue Reading
