FIGURE 1

The experimental protocol and timeline for the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) experiments. Top left is a schematic dorsal view of rat brain and middle cerebral artery and its major branches supplying blood to the temporoparietal cortex. The top right illustrates a ventral view of the intraluminal filament occluding the left internal carotid artery beyond the bifurcation of the left middle cerebral artery to induce MCAO. The lower panel shows the timeline for drug treatment, MCAO, reperfusion and post-MCAO evaluation.
