[Abstract]  The photothrombotic model of stroke is commonly used in research as it allows the ischemic infarct to be targeted to specific regions of the cortex with high reproducibility and well-defined infarct borders. Unlike other models of stroke, photothrombosis allows the precise size and location of infarct to be tightly controlled with minimal surgical invasion. Photothrombosis is induced when a circulating photosensitive dye is irradiated in vivo, resulting in focal disruption of the endothelium, activation of platelets and occlusion of the microvasculature (Watson et al., 1985; Dietrich et al., 1987; Carmichael, 2005). The protocols here define how photothrombosis can be specifically targeted to the sensorimotor forelimb cortex of rat with high reproducibility. ... [摘要]  中风的光血栓形成模型通常用于研究,因为它允许缺血性梗塞针对特定区域的皮层,具有高重现性和明确的梗塞边界。 与其他卒中模型不同,光血栓形成能够以最小的手术入侵严密控制梗死的精确大小和位置。 当在体内辐射循环的光敏染料时诱导光血栓形成,导致内皮的局灶性破坏,血小板的活化和微血管的闭塞(Watson等人,1985年 ; Dietrich等人,1987; Carmichael,2005)。 这里的方案定义了如何将光致血栓形成特异性地靶向大鼠的感觉运动前肢皮层并具有高重现性。 提供了大鼠皮质组织处理的详细方法以允许精确分析脑卒中体积和立体定向确定缺血性损伤的精确皮层区域。

【背景】中风的光血栓形成模型允许在皮层的特定区域中精确布置缺血性梗塞(Carmichael,2005; Underly and Shih,2017)。光血栓形成可用于封闭皮层中的特定动脉和动脉分支(Carmichael et al。,2005),pia的个别血管(Taylor和Shih,2013),并定义了皮质区域如桶(Dietrich等人,1987)和后肢躯体感觉皮层(Que等人,1999)。使用这种方法,在许多实验动物模型中已经产生了高度可重现的缺血性梗塞,包括啮齿动物(Watson等人,1985; Carmichael等人,2005)和非人类动物模型人灵长类动物(Ikeda et ...

[Abstract]  When injected into the motor cortex of rats, anterograde tracers label fibers of the associated descending corticospinal tract (CST) that originate from pyramidal neurons in the tracer-injected cortex. These fibers can be assessed at the level of the spinal cord to determine the integrity of the descending CST and the spatial distribution of axons in the spinal grey matter. Here we provide detailed methods on the minimally invasive stereotaxic injection of anterograde tracers into the forelimb sensorimotor representation in the rat cortex. In addition, we detail the fixing and processing of spinal tissue for assessment of CST integrity and branching into spinal grey matter. [摘要]  当注射到大鼠运动皮层时,顺行示踪剂标记伴随着皮质脊髓束下行(CST)的起源于示踪剂注射皮层中的锥体神经元的纤维。 这些纤维可以在脊髓水平进行评估以确定下降的CST的完整性和脊髓灰质中轴突的空间分布。 在这里,我们提供了在大鼠皮层前肢感觉运动表征的微创立体定向注射顺行示踪剂的详细方法。 此外,我们详细介绍了脊柱组织的固定和加工,以评估CST的完整性和分支到脊髓灰质。

【背景】运动皮层含有上运动神经元,其产生形成CST的下行轴突并终止于脊髓。注入大鼠运动皮层的顺行示踪剂标记这些CST的降纤维,允许其在脊髓水平进行评估(图1)。在啮齿动物模型中,CST的顺行标记广泛用于评估一系列脊髓损伤模型(包括损伤)中的CST完整性(Thallmair等人,1998; Vavrek等人, 2006)和挫伤(Hill等人,2001)。此外,顺行皮质示踪剂已被用于评估不同模型的脑损伤例如皮质卒中中的遗留纤维和CST的可塑性(Wahl等人,2014; Wiersma等人, ...
