tDCS inhibited apoptosis induced by MCAO operation in CIP. a TUNEL staining and semiquantitative analysis; b The level and the semiquantitative analysis of Caspase 3; c The level of Bcl2 and Bax and the semiquantitative of Bcl2/Bax ratio. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM from at least three independent experiments, and representative images are shown. **P < 0.01, MCAO + Sham vs Control + Sham; ##P < 0.01 and #P < 0.05, MCAO + tDCS vs Control + tDCS; &&P < 0.01, MCAO + Sham vs MCAO + tDCS. Scale bar = 100 μm
