Abstract:Following stroke, women have worse functional outcomes than men, due in part to more frequent non-focal symptoms, leading to misdiagnosis and lack of treatment. Understanding changes in peri-stroke behavior is critical to improving outcomes. During an ischemic stroke, energy loss in tissue fed by a blocked cerebral vessel induces rapid neuronal death. Next, large depolarizing waves (spreading depolarization, SD) emanate from this ischemic core. While SD in nearby hypoperfused tissue is deleterious, its impact … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
