Attempts at finding neuroprotective agents for stroke have failed to date. We believe these failures are directly related to the use of models based on young rodents for a disease that principally effects the elderly. We have been studying an aged model of embolic ischemia to overcome these limitations. We examined the effects of age on stroke progression and outcome in order to explore the association between blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, neuronal damage, and functional recovery. Our data show that aged rodents "experience" a very different stroke from that seen in the common young animal model of ischemia. Furthermore, fragility of the blood brain barrier may explain this profound difference.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
