1 Aug 1995
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A brief period of global brain ischemia causes cell death in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons days after reperfusion in rodents and humans. Other neurons are much less vulnerable. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as delayed neuronal death, but the cause has not been fully understood although many mechanisms have been proposed. SUMMARY OF REVIEW: Hippocampal CA1 neuronal death usually occurs 3...
