Extended brain disinhibition following small photothrombotic lesions in rat frontal cortex.

abstract：:This study was designed to clarify the neuroprotective effects of tanshinone IIA (TSA) following cerebral ischemic insult. Adult Sprague-Dawley rats were operated upon to achieve a middle cerebral artery occlusion to cause transient focal cerebral ischemia, which were then randomly divided into the sham-operated contr...
