INTRODUCTION: We examined whether stroke induces chronic cerebrovascular dysfunction and thereby exacerbates A{beta} pathology. METHODS: We exposed Tg2576 mice to a transient mild subcortical ischemia and examined cerebrovascular function at chronic timepoints as well as reactive astrocytes and A{beta} deposition post-mortem. RESULTS: Baseline cerebral blood flow and cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) are both influenced by anesthesia regimen. A{beta} strongly impairs CVR at earlier ages, while mild ischemia impairs CVR at later ages. Mild ischemia reduces neurovascular coupling more strongly than A{beta} and synergistically increases A{beta} deposition in Tg2576 mice. DISCUSSION: Stroke-induced cerebrovascular dysfunction and astrocyte reactivity persist for long periods after the injury. Although there is variability in the spatiotemporal progression of ischemia- and A{beta}-induced vascular impairments, they generally follow the pattern of Thal staging. Surprisingly, the ischemia+A{beta} group showed the least cerebrovascular dysfunction yet an exacerbation of A{beta} deposition, suggesting that these pathologies are connected but not tightly coupled.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
