Manual of Stroke Models in Rats PDF

Preface

During the last few years, exciting new insights into mechanisms and treatment of stroke have been obtained from animal experiments. Thus, animal models to induce stroke are of paramount importance as research tools. Although there are many articles in this area published in different journals, no systematic technical book is available.

This book explains in great detail the methods and techniques for accomplishing different stroke models in rats (and some techniques in mice). The contributing authors have included the most recent research information available, as well as generally recognized facts, to make the book relevant and attractive to specialists who work in stroke study.

This book, in many ways, is a very technical book. I trust and intend that this book will be helpful for researchers in this field to get started with experiments in stroke using the rat and mouse as the model animals.
