Lesion characteristics and functional test scores in individual animals.

Values from all 8 animals (No1 to No8) are shown. CBF<30 d0: Numbers of voxels with CBF below 30 ml/100 g/min on d0 (considered severely ischemic). HP: hyperperfusion on d 1, 4 and 14. T2 d14: number of voxels of the final infarct which was taken from T2 maps on d 14 as number of voxels with a T2 above the mean and 2 standard deviations of contralateral. VR+ refers to presence of increased vasoreactivity (overshooting CBF response to CO2-challenge) on d14. Functional score on d14 is shown (maximum 18 points, minimum 3 points). Stroke was categorized as large cortico-subcortical (A), moderate cortico-subcortical (B) or small, predominantly subcortical (C).
