To develop a simple, relatively noninvasive small-animal model of reversible regional
cerebral ischemia, we tested various methods of inducing infarction in the territory of the right …

Background and Purpose— Evidence suggests that activated microglia are detrimental to the
survival of new hippocampal neurons, whereas blocking inflammation has been shown to …

Increased expression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in the brain has been extensively
documented in association with a variety of insults, including ischemia, and is suggested to …

Apoptosis is implicated in neonatal hypoxic/ischemic (H/I) brain injury among various forms
of cell death. Here we investigate whether overexpression of heat shock protein (Hsp) 70, an …

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images from rats during acute cerebral
ischemia induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion were analyzed for correspondence with …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Alteration of CSF flow has been proposed to be an
important mechanism leading to the development of syringomyelia. We hypothesize that a “…

Increased neurogenesis after cerebral ischemia suggests that functional recovery after stroke
may be attributed, in part, to neural regeneration. In this study, we investigated the role of …

Mild to moderate hypothermia (30–33C) reduces brain injury after brief (<2-h) periods of
focal ischemia, but its effectiveness in prolonged temporary ischemia is not fully understood. …

OBJECTIVE: Intraoperative monitoring of transcranial motor evoked potentials (TcMEPs)
has been investigated recently as a means of preventing motor deficits associated with …

OBJECTIVE: Providing relief of symptomatic radiculopathy resulting from sacral perineural
cysts has proven difficult. Our goal was to improve the treatment of these cysts with …
