The fate of postischemic tissues containing eosinophilic neurons (ENs), whether they remain viable or evolve into infarction, is largely unknown. We analyzed the time profile and distribution of ENs, reactive astrocytes (RAs), and infarction after transient cerebral ischemia. Unilateral forebrain ischemia was induced in Mongolian gerbils by two 10-min unilateral common carotid artery occlusions with a 5-h interval, and the brains at 24 h, 4 days, and 2, 4, and 16 weeks were prepared for morphometric analysis. Intra-ischemic laser Doppler flowmetry revealed significant ischemia, deeper in the anterior cortex, during carotid occlusion. Here, ENs appeared in the middle and deep layers at 24 h postischemia, and EN areas had extended to all cortical layers by 4 days. Large areas of high EN density turned into infarcts between 4 days and 4 weeks. In the posterior cortex, middle and deep cortical layers evolved low EN density areas without subsequent transformation into infarcts. RAs were consistently observed in areas with ENs, and RA areas with high EN density were largely transformed into infarcts between 4 days and 4 weeks postischemia. Areas of high, but not low, EN density were slowly transformed into infarcts after transient cerebral ischemia. Delayed astrocytic death took place in the RA areas with high EN density. In conclusion, density of ENs is an important indicator of delayed astrocytic death and infarction in postischemic tissue.

D002540 Cerebral Cortex The thin layer of GRAY MATTER on the surface of the CEREBRAL HEMISPHERES that develops from the TELENCEPHALON and folds into gyri and sulci. It reaches its highest development in humans and is responsible for intellectual faculties and higher mental functions.

D002544 Cerebral Infarction The formation of an area of NECROSIS in the CEREBRUM caused by an insufficiency of arterial or venous blood flow. Infarcts of the cerebrum are generally classified by hemisphere (i.e., left vs. right), lobe (e.g., frontal lobe infarction), arterial distribution (e.g., INFARCTION, ANTERIOR CEREBRAL ARTERY), and etiology (e.g., embolic infarction).

D002546 Ischemic Attack, Transient Brief reversible episodes of focal, nonconvulsive ischemic dysfunction of the brain having a duration of less than 24 hours, and usually less than one hour, caused by transient thrombotic or embolic blood vessel occlusion or stenosis. Events may be classified by arterial distribution, temporal pattern, or etiology (e.g., embolic vs. thrombotic).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001253 Astrocytes A class of large neuroglial (macroglial) cells in the central nervous system - the largest and most numerous neuroglial cells in the brain and spinal cord. Astrocytes (from "star" cells) are irregularly shaped with many long processes, including those with "end feet" which form the glial (limiting) membrane and directly and indirectly contribute to the BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER. They regulate the extracellular ionic and chemical environment, and "reactive astrocytes" (along with MICROGLIA) respond to injury.
