Figure 1

(a) Representative images of thionin stained coronal brain sections and infarct volumes mm³ (b) from either sham operated non-stroked animals (C57Bl/6 n = 11, FVB/N n = 10), or animals with light exposures of 15 min (C57Bl/6 n = 8, FVB/N n = 16), 18 min (C57Bl/6 n = 10, FVB/N n = 14), and 20 min (C57Bl/6 n = 8, FVB/N n = 15) during stroke induction. Infarct area signified with a red line. Data are presented as mean ± SEM; *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001 vs 15 min in respective group, two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. Scale bar represents 1 mm.
