Neuroprotective effects of drugs post-treatment on the infarct volume and behavioral function in a neonatal rat model of photothrombotic stroke. (a) Experimental design for drugs by oral administration and RB animal modeling. (b) Representative images of coronal brain sections stained with TTC. (c) The length of time until the rat fell from the wire was recorded at perinatal day 14 after RB photothrombosis and after drug treatment for seven days. (d) Brain infarct volumes in rats after 24 h are presented as mean ± SD. ** p < 0.005; * p < 0.01 compared with the D.W. group.
