Secondary thalamic injury after cortical stroke

Secondary thalamic injury after cortical stroke. Species, exposure and limitations are retained in each linked claim.

1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What acts on it

  1. Hypothermia by dihydrocapsaicin initiated 3.5 hours after stroke significantly reduced primary cortical injury and also reduced secondary thalamic injury, with treated mice showing 53% smaller thalamic lesion size, decreased neuronal loss and astrogliosis in the thalamus and less thalamic fibre loss by diffusion tensor imaging, and a single 8 hour treatment produced improved behavioural recovery at one month after stroke.
