Intracerebroventricular Injection of Microglia Protects Against Focal Brain Ischemia

Microglia are macrophage-like phagocytic cells in the brain parenchyma. However, microglial function after neurodegeneration is not fully understood. In this study, occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) and reperfusion caused massive neuronal loss in the rat cerebral cortex and striatum afte...
