A. Survival curves did not differ for groups of rats treated with intracerebral saline or BDNF. B. Total number of neurons (NeuN-positive cells per microscope field) in the CA1 region of the hippocampus did not differ between saline and BDNF treated rats surviving to 14 days. For comparison, sham-operated rats without cardiac arrest have ~100–110 cells per field [8, 17]. C. The neurological scores (median and interquartile range) for rats treated with saline or BDNF improved over the first few days. Scores range from 0 (brain dead) to 26 (normal). Rats with persistently low neurological scores did not survive for 14 days. Scores did not differ between groups.
