Experimental SAH neurobehavioural and histological assessments. (a) Mortality after SAH induction or sham procedure. (b) Modified Garcia Score at 24 h and 48 h after SAH induction or sham procedure (maximum normal score is 18). (c) Merged triple-stained immunofluorescent confocal microscopy of coronal brain slices 24 h after SAH induction or sham procedure (NeuN (neuronal marker) = red, Caspase-3 (apoptosis marker) = green, DAPI (nuclei marker) = blue). Arrows point to apoptotic neurons. (d) Semi-automated apoptotic neuronal count from left ventral region of coronal brain slices. (e) Fluorescent confocal microscopy with fluoro-jade B staining of coronal brain slices 24 h after SAH induction or sham procedure. Arrows point to degenerated neurons. (f) Semi-automated degenerated neuronal count from left ventral region of coronal brain slices. n = 8–11 per group for 1a-b. n = 4–5 per group for 1c-f. Data presented as means ± SEM (Standard error of the mean). Kruskal–Wallis test (Modified Garcia Score). t-test (Caspase 3, fluoro-jade B). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
