Structures most highly lesioned by MCAO in a porcine ischemic stroke model. Images depict axial T1 brain overlay with entire bilateral structures most affected by the lesion. The structures with the highest percentage of infarction (percent of structure, PoS) at 1d post-MCAO in descending order include the claustrum (Cl), inferior temporal gyrus (Brodmann’s Area 20), superior temporal gyrus (Brodmann’s Area 22), insular cortex (Insula), middle temporal gyrus (Brodmann’s Area 21), putamen (Pu), somatosensory association cortex (Brodmann’s Area 5–7), secondary visual cortex (V2), globus pallidus (GP), and primary somatosensory cortex (S1) (a). At 28d post-MCAO, the structures with the highest level of lesioning included the middle temporal gyrus (Brodmann’s Area 21), superior temporal gyrus (Brodmann’s Area 22), inferior temporal gyrus (Brodmann’s Area 20), somatosensory association cortex (Brodmann’s Area 5–7), insular cortex (Insula), associative visual cortex (V3), primary somatosensory cortex (S1), prepiriform area (Brodmann’s Area 49), fusiform gyrus (Brodmann’s Area 37), and secondary visual cortex (V2) (b).
