Fig. 3From: Hemodynamic effects of intraoperative anesthetics administration in photothrombotic stroke model: a study using laser speckle imagingBrain lesion evaluations after photothrombotic stroke modeling in the conscious (n = 11) and the anesthetic (n = 11) groups. a Coronal and transversal planes of T2-weighted MRI from representative rats acquired 3 h after occlusion, showing a larger affected area in the conscious rat than that in the anesthetized rat. Scale bar 1 mm. b Lesion volume identified by T2-weighted MRI in the conscious group was larger than that in the anesthetic group. *P < 0.05Back to article page
