Abstract
Spreading depolarizations (SDs) are a marker of brain injury and have a causative effect on ischemic lesion progression. The hemodynamic responses elicited by SDs are contingent upon the metabolic integrity of the affected tissue, with vasoconstrictive reactions leading to pronounced hypoxia often indicating poor outcomes. The stratification of hemodynamic responses within different cortical layers remains poorly characterized. This pilot study sought to elucidate the depth-specific hemodynamic changes in response to SDs within the gray matter of the gyrencephalic swine brain. Employing a potassium chloride–induced SD model, we utilized multispectral photoacoustic imaging (PAI) to estimate regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rcSO2%) changes consequent to potassium chloride–induced SDs. Regions of interest were demarcated at three cortical depths covering up to 4 mm. Electrocorticography (ECoG) strips were placed to validate the presence of SDs. Through PAI, we detected 12 distinct rcSO2% responses, which corresponded with SDs detected in ECoG. Notably, a higher frequency of hypoxic responses was observed in the deeper cortical layers compared to superficial layers, where hyperoxic and mixed responses predominated (p < 0.001). This data provides novel insights into the differential oxygenation patterns across cortical layers in response to SDs, underlining the complexity of cerebral hemodynamics post-injury.
期刊介绍:
Translational Stroke Research covers basic, translational, and clinical studies. The Journal emphasizes novel approaches to help both to understand clinical phenomenon through basic science tools, and to translate basic science discoveries into the development of new strategies for the prevention, assessment, treatment, and enhancement of central nervous system repair after stroke and other forms of neurotrauma.
Translational Stroke Research focuses on translational research and is relevant to both basic scientists and physicians, including but not restricted to neuroscientists, vascular biologists, neurologists, neuroimagers, and neurosurgeons.
