Wang-Fischer Yanlin (Ed.) Manual of Stroke Models in Rats

CRC Press, 2008. - 352 p.ISBN: 084939578XThe book provides academic information on most of the known models of cerebral infarction in rats. All stages of the study are described in detail and consistently from the selection of animals to the evaluation of the results. Complete information about the equipment and the course of the intervention, from anesthesia to the technology of sectioning, is given.Statistical Update of Stroke in America
