Neuron-specific Slc38a1 deficiency confers resistance to ischemic brain injuries. a, b TTC staining of a brain section prepared from MCAO model mice. Representative images of the coronal bregma section a and measurements of the infarct area at each indicated point from the bregma (b, n = 5). c, d Immunohistochemical detection of the neurodegenerative effect of MCAO on cerebral neurons. Brain sections at the bregma were stained with antibodies against the neuronal markers NeuN (c, n = 3) or MAP2 (d, n = 3), and areas with undetectable staining were measured
