Abstract

Focal cerebral ischaemia has been produced in the rat by occlusion of the middle cerebral artery. The area of ischaemic damage involves the cortex and neostriatum and can be identified in perfusion fixed and paraffin embedded material and also in frozen sections. Quantitative autoradiographic studies show striking alterations in the distribution of local cerebral blood flow, which correlate closely with histological changes. Blood brain barrier permeability to αAIB is unaltered within the first 4 hrs, unless an additional insult in the form of halothane induced hypotension is introduced.
