FIGURE 1.

Effects of tMCAO in mice. (A & B) Brain infarct indicated using TTC staining 24 h after tMCAO (n = 5). (B) Neurological scores evaluated at 24, 48 and 72 h post‐tMCAO (n = 6). 0, no deficit; 1, forelimb weakness; 2, circling to affected side; 3, partial paralysis on affected side; and 4, no spontaneous motor activity. (D) Expression of circCCDC9 was measured at 24, 48 and 72 h post tMCAO (n = 5). Data are shown as means ± SD. *P < .05
