In
this study, MEMRI was employed to investigate into the late changes in Mn2+
enhancement in subchronic focal brain ischemia, with emphases on the temporal
evolutions in different subregions of the perilesion cortex. The results of
this study may provide a new tool for in vivo longitudinal monitoring of the
of salvageable tissues and hence represent potential new therapeutic targets
for improving the functional consequences after stroke.
