Attention dysfunction in cirrhotic patients: an inquiry on the role of executive control, attention orienting and focusing.

abstract：:Overwhelming evidence suggests that microglia play an important role in ischemic injury and they polarize into two different phenotypes with distinct functions after ischemic stroke. We performed the present study to investigate whether L-3-n butylphthalide (NBP) has an effect on microglial polarization. Mice were sub...
