The adult quiescent blood–brain barrier (BBB), a structure organised by endothelial cells
through interactions with pericytes, astrocytes, neurons and microglia in the neurovascular unit, …

Maintaining blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity is crucial for the homeostasis of the central
nervous system. Structurally comprising the BBB, brain endothelial cells interact with pericytes, …

Spreading depolarizations (SD) are waves of abrupt, near-complete breakdown of neuronal
transmembrane ion gradients, are the largest possible pathophysiologic disruption of viable …

Diffusion‐weighted single voxel experiments conducted at b‐values up to 1 × 10 4 smm −2
yielded biexponential signal attenuation curves for both normal and ischemic brain. The …

Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is a physical rehabilitation regime that has
been previously shown to improve motor function in chronic hemiparetic stroke patients. …

Functional recovery after stroke has been associated with brain plasticity; however, the exact
relationship is unknown. We performed behavioral tests, functional MRI, and histology in a …

Despite the success of functional imaging to map changes in brain activation patterns after
stroke, spatiotemporal dynamics of cerebral reorganization in correlation with behavioral …

The pattern and role of brain plasticity in stroke recovery has been incompletely characterized.
Both ipsilesional and contralesional changes have been described, but it remains unclear …

Remodeling of neuronal structures and networks is believed to significantly contribute to (partial)
restoration of functions after stroke. However, it has been unclear to what extent the …

To obtain a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying early changes in the brain
water apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) observed in cerebral ischemia, dynamic changes …
