Journal ArticleDOI
The role of spreading depression in focal ischemia evaluated by diffusion mapping.
Kentaro Takano,Lawrence L. Latour,Lawrence L. Latour,James E. Formato,Richard A. D. Carano,Karl G. Helmer,Yasuhiro Hasegawa,Christopher H. Sotak,Marc Fisher +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ischemia‐related and induced SDs increase significantly ischemic lesion volume in vivo, supporting the hypothesis for a causative role of SD in extending focal ischema injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spreading waves of decreased diffusion coefficient after cortical stimulation in the rat brain.
Lawrence L. Latour,Yasuhiro Hasegawa,James E. Formato,Marc Fisher,Christopher H. Sotak,Christopher H. Sotak +5 more
TL;DR: The technique can be implemented on currently available MRI equipment and makes possible the noninvasive study of SD in animal models of neurological disorders, their therapeutic intervention, and possibly the study ofSD in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Severe Transient Hypoglycemia Causes Reversible Change in the Apparent Diffusion Coefficient of Water
Yasuhiro Hasegawa,James E. Formato,Lawrence L. Latour,Jorge A. Gutierrez,Kai-Feng Liu,Julio H. Garcia,Christopher H. Sotak,Marc Fisher +7 more
TL;DR: ADC mapping during hypoglycemia clearly demonstrates changes likely related to energy depletion, and supports the hypothesis that ADC reductions observed in ischemia are also related to shifts of water from the extracellular to the intracellular compartment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glycine Site Antagonist Attenuates Infarct Size in Experimental Focal Ischemia Postmortem and Diffusion Mapping Studies
Kentaro Takano,Turgut Tatlisumak,James E. Formato,Richard A.D. Carano,Andreas Bergmann,Linda M. Pullan,Thomas M. Bare,Christopher H. Sotak,Marc Fisher +8 more
TL;DR: Diffusion mapping disclosed a delayed treatment effect of this glycine receptor antagonist in focal ischemia, confirmed by the postmortem study, and demonstrates that 2.5- to 10-mg/kg doses of ZD9379 initiated 30 minutes after MCAO significantly reduced infarct size.
