Figure 1. The right middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) produced a significant infarct area on left cerebral cortex in rats. (A) Representative, TTC stained brain slice from rats at 3 days after MCAO. The pale region indicates the infarct area. Right MCAO caused left cerebral cortex infarction; however, the olfactory bulb and primary olfactory cortex were not involved. (B) Quantification of infarct volume of rats at 3 days after MCAO (n=4/group). The sham-operated rats showed no infarction. Data are presented as mean±SEM. *p<0.001.
