a

Td, duration of the experiment after MCAO.

b

Correlation coefficient (R2) and statistical significance (P, for the slope difference from zero) of the linear fit.

c

The 23Na MRI slope data were excluded because of the movement in the animal holder assembly.

d

Fit parameters are not shown as lacking statistical significance.

NA = not available.
