The effect of bilateral cerebral ischemia on noradrenaline, dopamine, and serotonin concentrations in six brain regions (i.e., the cerebral cortex, striatum, hippocampus, midbrain-diencephalon, cerebellum, and pons-medulla oblongata) was examined in the gerbil stroke model. The relative changes in regional cerebral blood flow after bilateral common carotid occlusion were also assessed using the radioactive microsphere technique. At 1 h after bilateral carotid occlusion, a significant decrease of monoamine concentration was observed in the cerebral cortex, striatum, hippocampus, and midbrain-diencephalon whereas no significant change was detected in the cerebellum and pons-medulla oblongata. The fall in NA content was most prominent in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus and percentage reductions of dopamine and serotonin were greatest in the striatum and cerebral cortex, respectively. These results suggest that the monoamine neurons in various brain regions might have different vulnerabilities to ischemic insult and show no evidence of transtentorial diaschisis.

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D002339 Carotid Arteries Either of the two principal arteries on both sides of the neck that supply blood to the head and neck; each divides into two branches, the internal carotid artery and the external carotid artery. Arteries, Carotid,Artery, Carotid,Carotid Artery
D002545 Brain Ischemia Localized reduction of blood flow to brain tissue due to arterial obstruction or systemic hypoperfusion. This frequently occurs in conjunction with brain hypoxia (HYPOXIA, BRAIN). Prolonged ischemia is associated with BRAIN INFARCTION.

D004298 Dopamine One of the catecholamine NEUROTRANSMITTERS in the brain. It is derived from TYROSINE and is the precursor to NOREPINEPHRINE and EPINEPHRINE. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) mediate its action.

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.
