Influence of therapeutic hypothermia on neuroprotection and post-ischemic plasticity in a rat model of global ischemia
DownloadFall 2011
Blood flow to the brain may be disrupted by either a stroke (such as focal ischemia or hemorrhage) or cardiac arrest, where the whole brain becomes ischemic. Both forms of injury result in irreversible neuronal loss leading to neurological impairments and a decrease in the quality of life....

The effects of antidepressants on the phenotype of activated microglia and ischemia-injured cortical neurons
DownloadFall 2013
Depression is one of the most common disorders appearing following a stroke and is also a major factor limiting recovery and rehabilitation in stroke patients. Several antidepressants have shown to have anti-inflammatory properties within the central nervous system (CNS). The major source of...

Spring 2016
Mild therapeutic hypothermia (HYPO), decreasing brain temperature to 32-35°C, is the gold standard neuroprotectant against ischemia. Cooling also ameliorates several cell death mechanisms in other types of brain injury (e.g., traumatic brain injury). As with many other neuroprotectants, HYPO not...
