Procedure for establishing the rat model. a Modelling process diagram. b The bone window is opened to expose the SSS. c Water-swellable rubber effectively results in SSS occlusion on the first day (white arrow). d Regions of interest obtained by thinning of the skull to monitor superficial cerebral blood flow; images show partial disappearance of SSS blood flow following insertion of the rubber implant (white arrows). Near-complete disappearance and a partial decrease in bridging veins were observed on the first day after modelling (yellow arrows). Scar bar = 1 mm. SSS: superior sagittal sinus
