Infarct volume and cell death. A) Infarct volume: H&E staining allows the identification of ischemic lesions as well-defined pale areas for both models (ES and pMCAO). Infarct volume was significantly higher in the ES than in the pMCAO model (bar graph). B) Cell death (Tunel positive cells): In the ES model, the quantification of the cell death is presented separately for the cortex and striatum whereas in the pMCAO model only the cortex is presented.
