Does mild sensory stimulation protect the aged rodent from cortical ischemic stroke after permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion?
Taken together, our results confirm that single-whisker stimulation is protective in an aged rodent pMCAO model, despite age-associated stroke vulnerability. These findings further suggest potential for translation to the more clinically relevant older adult human population. (J Am Heart Assoc. 2012;1:e001255 doi: 10.1161/JAHA.112.001255.).
