Figure 6

MR images of the 5xVCI mice acquired at varying time points. T2 weighted MR images from representative animals from the MEM (left) and MSC (right) groups are shown. MR images were acquired at pre, post 1 mo (a month following VCI surgery), and post 2 mo (2 months following VCI surgery, 1 month after MEM or MSC injections). Solid green arrows signify slight damage to the cortex generated by penetration of the Hamilton syringe. Signs of cerebral infarcts are not noted from the MR images at all time points for both the MEM and MSC groups. L indicates left and R indicates the right hemisphere of the mouse brain. The location of each of the coronal MR sections is illustrated by the sagittal section of the mouse brain (top): (1) forceps minor of the corpus callosum (+1.70 mm anterior to bregma), (2) external capsule of the corpus callosum (+0.62 mm anterior to bregma), (3) the injection point (lateral ventricles) and the caudate putamen can be visualized (−0.22 mm posterior to bregma), and (4) the hippocampal fimbria and hippocampus can be detected (−1.82 mm posterior to bregma).
