Journal ArticleDOI
Thresholds in cerebral ischemia - the ischemic penumbra.
TL;DR: Recent evidence indicates that immediate failure of basic functions such as synaptic transmission, ion pumping and energy metabolism in the ischemic brain, is critically dependent on residual blood flow, and that these functions fail at certain critical flow thresholds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cell Damage in the Brain: A Speculative Synthesis
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the clinically most important conditions leading to brain cell death are those associated with cerebrovascul ar dise ase, particularly stroke, and with head trauma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calcium fluxes, calcium antagonists, and calcium-related pathology in brain ischemia, hypoglycemia, and spreading depression: a unifying hypothesis.
Bo K. Siesjö,Finn Bengtsson +1 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis predicts that loss of cellular calcium ho meostasis underlies selective neuronal vulnerability in ischemia, hypoglycemia, and epileptic seizures and that some cells are more vulner able than others because they have a higher density of calcium channels in their plasma membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathophysiology and treatment of focal cerebral ischemia. Part II: Mechanisms of damage and treatment.
TL;DR: Differences in the pump/leak relationship for calcium explain why calcium and glutamate antagonists may lack effect on the cardiac arrest type of ischemia, while decreasing infarct size in focal ischemIA.
Journal ArticleDOI
The density and distribution of ischemic brain injury in the rat following 2–10 min of forebrain ischemia
TL;DR: Mild brain damage was observed in some animals already after 2 min, and more consistently after 4 min of ischemia, and selective neuronal necrosis of the cerebral cortex worsened into infarction after higher doses of insult.
