Figure 2.
Absolute cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the (A) thalamus and (B) cortex at baseline and at 2, 7, and 30 days and 3 months after focal cerebral ischemia (Ischemic, n=18) or sham operation (Sham, n=9). Cerebral blood flow was quantified by arterial spin labeling (ASL). Values are presented as mean±standard error of the mean (s.e.m.). Ipsilateral versus contralateral thalamus in ischemic rats (###P<0.001, ##P<0.01, #P<0.05) and ipsilateral thalamus in ischemic rats versus sham (***P<0.001, **P<0.01, *P<0.05) are the comparisons presented for each time point.
