Neuroanatomical and electrophysiological recovery in the contralateral intact cortex following transient focal cerebral ischemia in rats.

Discussion Focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion induces time-dependent reduction of dendritic spine density and electrophysiological depression in both the ipsilateral and contralateral cortices and intact brain. This neuroanatomical and electrophysiological evidence suggests that neuroplasticity and functional re-organization in the contralateral cortex is possible following focal cerebral ischemia.
