Microglia are activated in the hippocampus and in the Reticular Nucleus 72 h after cardiac arrest. Activated microglia were stained for Iba1. A, Absent Iba1 staining in the hippocampus of sham-operated rats. B, Iba1+ microglia are present in the CA1 region of the hippocampus 72 h after cardiac arrest (DG, dentate gyrus). C, Absent Iba1 staining in the thalamus of sham-operated rats. D, Iba1-stained microglia are present in the thalamic Reticular Nucleus 72 h after cardiac arrest. Scale bar: (in A) A–D, 500 μm.
