Maturation Phenomenon in Cerebral Ischemia IV : Apoptosis and/or Necrosis, Neuronal Recovery vs. Death, and Protection Against Infarction /

The maturation phenomenon, first described by Ito et al. in 1975, refers to postischemic changes that develop hours or days after an ischemic insult. The delayed neuronal death of CA1 pyramidal cells of the hippocampus is a classic example. The report of the phenomenon boosted research in the field,...
