Abstract
Background Impairment in cerebral autoregulation has been proposed as a potentially targetable factor in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), however there are different continuous measures that can be used to calculate the state of autoregulation. In addition, it has previously been proposed that there may be an association of impaired autoregulation with the occurrence of spreading depolarization (SD) events. Methods Subjects with invasive multimodal monitoring and aSAH were enrolled in an observational study. Autoregulation indices were prospectively calculated from this database as a 10 second moving correlation coefficient between various cerebral blood flow (CBF) surrogates and mean arterial pressure (MAP). In subjects with subdural ECoG (electrocorticography) monitoring, SD was also scored. Associations between clinical outcomes using the mRS (modified Rankin Scale) and occurrence of either isolated or clustered SD was assessed. Results 320 subjects were included, 47 of whom also had ECoG SD monitoring. As expected, baseline severity factors such as mFS and WFNS (World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies scale) were strongly associated with the clinical outcome. SD probability was related to blood pressure in a triphasic pattern with a linear increase in probability below MAP of ∼100mmHg.Autoregulation indices were available for intracranial pressure (ICP) measurements (PRx), PbtO2 from Licox (ORx), perfusion from the Bowman perfusion probe (CBFRx), and cerebral oxygen saturation measured by near infrared spectroscopy (OSRx). Only worse ORx and OSRx were associated with worse clinical outcomes. ORx and OSRx also were found to both increase in the hour prior to SD for both sporadic and clustered SD. Conclusions Impairment in autoregulation in aSAH is associated with worse clinical outcomes and occurrence of SD when using ORx and OSRx. Impaired autoregulation precedes SD occurrence. Targeting the optimal MAP or cerebral perfusion pressure in patients with aSAH should use ORx and/or OSRx as the input function rather than intracranial pressure.

Abstract
Spreading depolarization (SD) has emerged as an important contributor to the enlargement of acute brain injuries. We previously showed that the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist ketamine was able to prevent deleterious consequences of SD in brain slices, under conditions of metabolic compromise. The current study aimed to extend these observations into an in vivo stroke model, to test whether gradients of metabolic capacity lead to differential accumulation of calcium (Ca2+) following SD. In addition, we tested whether ketamine protects vulnerable tissuewhile allowing SD to propagate through surrounding undamaged tissue. Focal lesions were generated using a distal middle cerebral artery occlusion in mice, and clusters of SD were generated at 20 min intervals with remote microinjection of potassium chloride. SDs invading peri-infarct regions had significantly different consequences, depending on the distance from the infarct core. Proximal to the lesion, Ca2+ transients were extended, as compared with responses in better-perfused tissue more remote from the lesion. Extracellular potential shifts were also longer and hyperemia responses were reduced in proximal regions following SDs. Consistent with in vitro studies, ketamine, at concentrations that did not abolish the propagation of SD, reduced the accumulation of intracellular Ca2+ in proximal regions following an SD wave. These findings suggest that deleterious consequences of SD can be targeted in vivo, without requiring outright block of SD initiation and propagation.

Abstract
Spreading depolarizations (SDs) are a marker of brain injury and have a causative effect on ischemic lesion progression. The hemodynamic responses elicited by SDs are contingent upon the metabolic integrity of the affected tissue, with vasoconstrictive reactions leading to pronounced hypoxia often indicating poor outcomes. The stratification of hemodynamic responses within different cortical layers remains poorly characterized. This pilot study sought to elucidate the depth-specific hemodynamic changes in response to SDs within the gray matter of the gyrencephalic swine brain. Employing a potassium chloride-induced SD model, we utilized multispectral photoacoustic imaging (PAI) to estimate regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rcSO2%) changes consequent to potassium chloride-induced SDs. Regions of interest were demarcated at three cortical depths covering up to 4 mm. Electrocorticography (ECoG) strips were placed to validate the presence of SDs. Through PAI, we detected 12 distinct rcSO2% responses, which corresponded with SDs detected in ECoG. Notably, a higher frequency of hypoxic responses was observed in the deeper cortical layers compared to superficial layers, where hyperoxic and mixed responses predominated (p < 0.001). This data provides novel insights into the differential oxygenation patterns across cortical layers in response to SDs, underlining the complexity of cerebral hemodynamics post-injury.

Abstract
Cerebral autoregulation is an intrinsic myogenic response of cerebral vasculature that allows for preservation of stable cerebral blood flow levels in response to changing systemic blood pressure. It is effective across a broad range of blood pressure levels through precapillary vasoconstriction and dilation. Autoregulation is difficult to directly measure and methods to indirectly ascertain cerebral autoregulation status inherently require certain assumptions. Patients with impaired cerebral autoregulation may be at risk of brain ischemia. One of the central mechanisms of ischemia in patients with metabolically compromised states is likely the triggering of spreading depolarization (SD) events and ultimately, terminal (or anoxic) depolarization. Cerebral autoregulation and SD are therefore linked when considering the risk of ischemia. In this scoping review, we will discuss the range of methods to measure cerebral autoregulation, their theoretical strengths and weaknesses, and the available clinical evidence to support their utility. We will then discuss the emerging link between impaired cerebral autoregulation and the occurrence of SD events. Such an approach offers the opportunity to better understand an individual patient's physiology and provide targeted treatments.

Abstract
Spreading depolarizations (SDs) are widely recognized as a major contributor to the progression of tissue damage from ischemic stroke even if blood flow can be restored. They are characterized by negative intracortical waveforms of up to -20 mV, propagation velocities of 3 - 6 mm/min, and massive disturbance of membrane ion homeostasis. High-density, micro-electrocorticographic (μECoG) epidural electrodes and custom, DC-coupled, multiplexed amplifiers, were used to continuously characterize and monitor SD and µECoG cortical signal evolution in awake, moving rats over days. This highly innovative approach can define these events over a large brain surface area (~ 3.4 × 3.4 mm), extending across the boundaries of the stroke, and offers sufficient electrode density (60 contacts total per array for a density of 5.7 electrodes / mm2) to measure and determine the origin of SDs in relation to the infarct boundaries. In addition, spontaneous ECoG activity can simultaneously be detected to further define cortical infarct regions. This technology allows us to understand dynamic stroke evolution and provides immediate cortical functional activity over days. Further translational development of this approach may facilitate improved treatment options for acute stroke patients.

Abstract
Spreading depolarizations (SDs) are profound waves of neuroglial depolarization that can propagate repetitively through injured brain. Recent clinical work has established SD as an important contributor to expansion of acute brain injuries and have begun to extend SD studies into other neurological disorders. A critical challenge is to determine how to selectively prevent deleterious consequences of SD. In the present study, we determined whether a wave of profound Zn2+ release is a key contributor to deleterious consequences of SD, and whether this can be targeted pharmacologically. Focal KCl microinjection was used to initiate SD in the CA1 region of the hippocampus in murine brain slices. An extracellular Zn2+ chelator with rapid kinetics (ZX1) increased SD propagation rates and improved recovery of extracellular DC potential shifts. Under conditions of metabolic compromise, tissues showed sustained impairment of functional and structural recovery following a single SD. ZX1 effectively improved recovery of synaptic potentials and intrinsic optical signals in these vulnerable conditions. Fluorescence imaging and genetic deletion of a presynaptic Zn2+ transporter confirmed synaptic release as the primary contributor to extracellular accumulation and deleterious consequences of Zn2+ during SD. These results demonstrate a role for synaptic Zn2+ release in deleterious consequences of SD and show that targeted extracellular chelation could be useful for disorders where repetitive SD enlarges infarcts in injured tissues.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke occurs abruptly causing sudden neurologic deficits, and therefore, very little is known about hemodynamic perturbations in the brain immediately after stroke onset. Here, functional ultrasound imaging was used to monitor variations in relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) compared to baseline. rCBV levels were analyzed brain-wide and continuously at high spatiotemporal resolution (100 μm, 2 Hz) until 70mins after stroke onset in rats. We compared two stroke models, with either a permanent occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCAo) or a tandem occlusion of both the common carotid and middle cerebral arteries (CCAo + MCAo). We observed a typical hemodynamic pattern, including a quick drop of the rCBV after MCAo, followed by spontaneous reperfusion of several brain regions located in the vicinity of the ischemic core. The severity and location of the ischemia were variable within groups. On average, the severity of the ischemia was in good agreement with the lesion volume (24 hrs after stroke) for MCAo group, while larger for the CCAo + MCAo model. For both groups, we observed that infarcts extended to initially non-ischemic regions located rostrally to the ischemic core. These regions strongly colocalize with the origin of transient hemodynamic events associated with spreading depolarizations.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is a neurological condition that results in significant mortality and long-term disability for adults, creating huge health burdens worldwide. For stroke patients, acute intervention offers the most critical therapeutic opportunity as it can reduce irreversible tissue injury and improve functional outcomes. However, currently available treatments within the acute window are highly limited. Although emerging neuromodulation therapies have been tested for chronic stroke patients, acute stimulation is rarely studied due to the risk of causing adverse effects related to ischemia-induced electrical instability. To address this gap, we combined electrophysiology and histology tools to investigate the effects of acute electrical stimulation on ischemic neural damage in non-human primates. Specifically, we induced photothrombotic lesions in the monkey sensorimotor cortex while collecting electrocorticography (ECoG) signals through a customized neural interface. Gamma activity in ECoG was used as an electrophysiological marker to track the effects of stimulation on neural activation. Meanwhile, histological analysis including Nissl, cFos, and microglial staining was performed to evaluate the tissue response to ischemic injury. Comparing stimulated monkeys to controls, we found that theta-burst stimulation administered directly adjacent to the ischemic infarct at 1 hour post-stroke briefly inhibits peri-infarct neuronal activation as reflected by decreased ECoG gamma power and cFos expression. Meanwhile, lower microglial activation and smaller lesion volumes were observed in animals receiving post-stroke stimulation. Together, these results suggest that acute electrical stimulation can be used safely and effectively as an early stroke intervention to reduce excitotoxicity and inflammation, thus mitigating neural damage and enhancing stroke outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has emerged as a potential therapeutic approach for neurological and psychiatric disorders. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in VNS for treating ischemic stroke. This review discusses the evidence supporting VNS as a treatment option for ischemic stroke and elucidates its underlying mechanisms. RECENT FINDINGS Preclinical studies investigating VNS in stroke models have shown reduced infarct volumes and improved neurological deficits. Additionally, VNS has been found to reduce reperfusion injury. VNS may promote neuroprotection by reducing inflammation, enhancing cerebral blood flow, and modulating the release of neurotransmitters. Additionally, VNS may stimulate neuroplasticity, thereby facilitating post-stroke recovery. The Food and Drug Administration has approved invasive VNS (iVNS) combined with rehabilitation for ischemic stroke patients with moderate to severe upper limb deficits. However, iVNS is not feasible in acute stroke due to its time-sensitive nature. Non-invasive VNS (nVNS) may be an alternative approach for treating ischemic stroke. While the evidence from preclinical studies and clinical trials of nVNS is promising, the mechanisms through which VNS exerts its beneficial effects on ischemic stroke are still being elucidated. Therefore, further research is needed to better understand the efficacy and underlying mechanisms of nVNS in ischemic stroke. Moreover, large-scale randomized clinical trials are necessary to determine the optimal nVNS protocols, assess its long-term effects on stroke recovery and outcomes, and identify the potential benefits of combining nVNS with other rehabilitation strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spreading depolarizations (SDs) can be viewed at a cellular level using calcium imaging (CI), but this approach is limited to laboratory applications and animal experiments. Optical intrinsic signal imaging (OISI), on the other hand, is amenable to clinical use and allows viewing of large cortical areas without contrast agents. A better understanding of the behavior of OISI-observed SDs under different brain conditions is needed. METHODS We performed simultaneous calcium and OISI of SDs in GCaMP6f mice. SDs propagate through the cortex as a pathological wave and trigger a neurovascular response that can be imaged with both techniques. We imaged both mechanically stimulated SDs (sSDs) in healthy brains and terminal SDs (tSDs) induced by system hypoxia and cardiopulmonary failure. RESULTS We observed a lag in the detection of SDs in the OISI channels compared with CI. sSDs had a faster velocity than tSDs, and tSDs had a greater initial velocity for the first 400 µm when observed with CI compared with OISI. However, both imaging methods revealed similar characteristics, including a decrease in the sSD (but not tSD) velocities as the wave moved away from the site of initial detection. CI and OISI also showed similar spatial propagation of the SD throughout the image field. Importantly, only OISI allowed regional ischemia to be detected before tSDs occurred. CONCLUSIONS Altogether, data indicate that monitoring either neural activity or intrinsic signals with high-resolution optical imaging can be useful to assess SDs, but OISI may be a clinically applicable way to predict, and therefore possibly mitigate, hypoxic-ischemic tSDs.

Abstract
Spreading depolarizations (SDs) are profound waves of neuroglial depolarization that can propagate repetitively through injured brain. Recent clinical work has established SD as an important contributor to expansion of acute brain injuries and have begun to extend SD studies into other neurological disorders. A critical challenge is to determine how to selectively prevent deleterious consequences of SD. In the present study, we determined whether a wave of profound Zn2+ release is a key contributor to deleterious consequences of SD, and whether this can be targeted pharmacologically. Focal KCl microinjection was used to initiate SD in the CA1 region of the hippocampus in murine brain slices. An extracellular Zn2+ chelator with rapid kinetics (ZX-1) increased SD propagation rates and improved recovery of extracellular DC potential shifts. Under conditions of metabolic compromise, tissues showed sustained impairment of functional and structural recovery following a single SD. ZX-1 effectively improved recovery of synaptic potentials and intrinsic optical signals in these vulnerable conditions. Fluorescence imaging and genetic deletion of a presynaptic Zn2+ transporter confirmed synaptic release as the primary contributor to extracellular accumulation and deleterious consequences of Zn2+ during SD. These results demonstrate a role for synaptic Zn2+ release in deleterious consequences of SD and show that targeted extracellular chelation could be useful for disorders where repetitive SD enlarges infarcts in injured tissues.

Abstract
Patients with traumatic brain injury are typically maintained at low-normal levels of arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) to counteract the risk of elevated intracranial pressure during intensive care. However, several studies suggest that management at hypercarbic levels may have therapeutic benefit. Here we examined the impact of CO2 levels on spreading depolarizations (SD), a mechanism and marker of acute lesion development in stroke and brain trauma. In an acute preparation of mechanically ventilated (30/70 O2/N2) female rats, SDs were evoked by cortical KCl application and monitored by electrophysiology and laser doppler flowmetry; CO2 levels were adjusted by ventilator settings and supplemental CO2. During 90 min of KCl application, rats were maintained at hypocapnia (end-tidal CO2 22 ± 2 mmHg) or hypercapnia (57 ± 4 mmHg) but did not differ significantly in arterial pH (7.31 ± 0.10 vs. 7.22 ± 0.08, p = 0.31) or other variables. Surprisingly, there was no difference between groups in the number of SDs recorded (10.7 ± 4.2 vs. 11.7 ± 3.1; n = 3 rats/group; p = 0.75) nor in SD durations (64 ± 27 vs. 69 ± 37 sec, p = 0.54). In separate experiments (n = 3), hypoxia was induced by decreasing inhaled O2 to 10% and single SDs were induced under interleaved conditions of hypo-, normo-, and hypercapnia. No differences in SD duration were observed. In both normoxia and hypoxia experiments, however, mean arterial pressures were negatively correlated with SD durations (normoxia R2 = -0.29; hypoxia R2 = -0.61, p's < 0.001). Our results suggest that any therapeutic benefit of elevated CO2 therapy may be dependent on an acidic shift in pH or may only be observed in conditions of focal brain injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spreading depolarizations (SDs) occur in all types of brain injury and may be associated with detrimental effects in ischemic stroke and subarachnoid hemorrhage. While rapid hematoma growth during intracerebral hemorrhage triggers SDs, their role in intracerebral hemorrhage is unknown. METHODS We used intrinsic optical signal and laser speckle imaging, combined with electrocorticography, to investigate the effects of SD on hematoma growth during the hyperacute phase (0-4 hours) after intracortical collagenase injection in mice. Hematoma expansion, SDs, and cerebral blood flow were simultaneously monitored under normotensive and hypertensive conditions. RESULTS Spontaneous SDs erupted from the vicinity of the hematoma during rapid hematoma growth. We found that hematoma growth slowed down by >60% immediately after an SD. This effect was even stronger in hypertensive animals with faster hematoma growth. To establish causation, we exogenously induced SDs (every 30 minutes) at a remote site by topical potassium chloride application and found reduced hematoma growth rate and final hemorrhage volume (18.2±5.8 versus 10.7±4.1 mm3). Analysis of cerebral blood flow using laser speckle flowmetry revealed that suppression of hematoma growth by spontaneous or induced SDs coincided and correlated with the characteristic oligemia in the wake of SD, implicating the vasoconstrictive effect of SD as one potential mechanism of action. CONCLUSIONS Our findings reveal that SDs limit hematoma growth during the early hours of intracerebral hemorrhage and decrease final hematoma volume.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Spreading depolarizations (SDs) are a pathological mechanism that mediates lesion development in cerebral gray matter. They occur in ∼60% of patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), often in recurring and progressive patterns from days 0 to 10 after injury, and are associated with worse outcomes. However, there are no protocols or trials suggesting how SD monitoring might be incorporated into clinical management. The objective of this protocol is to determine the feasibility and efficacy of implementing a treatment protocol for intensive care of patients with severe TBI that is guided by electrocorticographic monitoring of SDs. METHODS Patients who undergo surgery for severe TBI with placement of a subdural electrode strip will be eligible for enrollment. Those who exhibit SDs on electrocorticography during intensive care will be randomized 1:1 to either (1) standard care that is blinded to the further course of SDs or (2) a tiered intervention protocol based on efficacy to suppress further SDs. Interventions aim to block the triggering and propagation of SDs and include adjusted targets for management of blood pressure, CO 2 , temperature, and glucose, as well as ketamine pharmacotherapy up to 4 mg/kg/ hour. Interventions will be escalated and de-escalated depending on the course of SD pathology. EXPECTED OUTCOMES We expect to demonstrate that electrocorticographic monitoring of SDs can be used as a real- time diagnostic in intensive care that leads to meaningful changes in patient management and a reduction in secondary injury, as compared with standard care, without increasing medical complications or adverse events. DISCUSSION This trial holds potential for personalization of intensive care management by tailoring therapies based on monitoring and confirmation of the targeted neuronal mechanism of SD. Results are expected to validate the concept of this approach, inform refinement of the treatment protocol, and lead to larger-scale trials.

Abstract
Secondary brain injury after neurotrauma is comprised of a host of distinct, potentially concurrent and interacting mechanisms that may exacerbate primary brain insult. Multimodality neuromonitoring is a method of measuring multiple aspects of the brain in order to understand the signatures of these different pathomechanisms and to detect, treat, or prevent potentially reversible secondary brain injuries. The most studied invasive parameters include intracranial pressure (ICP), cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), autoregulatory indices, brain tissue partial oxygen tension, and tissue energy and metabolism measures such as the lactate pyruvate ratio. Understanding the local metabolic state of brain tissue in order to infer pathology and develop appropriate management strategies is an area of active investigation. Several clinical trials are underway to define the role of brain tissue oxygenation monitoring and electrocorticography in conjunction with other multimodal neuromonitoring information, including ICP and CPP monitoring. Identifying an optimal CPP to guide individualized management of blood pressure and ICP has been shown to be feasible, but definitive clinical trial evidence is still needed. Future work is still needed to define and clinically correlate patterns that emerge from integrated measurements of metabolism, pressure, flow, oxygenation, and electrophysiology. Pathophysiologic targets and precise critical care management strategies to address their underlying causes promise to mitigate secondary injuries and hold the potential to improve patient outcome. Advancements in clinical trial design are poised to establish new standards for the use of multimodality neuromonitoring to guide individualized clinical care.

Abstract
Spreading depolarization (SD) is a slowly propagating wave of profound depolarization that sweeps through cortical tissue. While much emphasis has been placed on the damaging consequences of SD, there is uncertainty surrounding the potential activation of beneficial pathways such as cell survival and plasticity. The present study used unbiased assessments of gene expression to evaluate that compensatory and repair mechanisms could be recruited following SD, regardless of the induction method, which prior to this work had not been assessed. We also tested assumptions of appropriate controls and the spatial extent of expression changes that are important for in vivo SD models. SD clusters were induced with either KCl focal application or optogenetic stimulation in healthy mice. Cortical RNA was extracted and sequenced to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). SDs using both induction methods significantly upregulated 16 genes (versus sham animals) that included the cell proliferation-related genes FOS, JUN, and DUSP6, the plasticity-related genes ARC and HOMER1, and the inflammation-related genes PTGS2, EGR2, and NR4A1. The contralateral hemisphere is commonly used as control tissue for DEG studies, but its activity could be modified by near-global disruption of activity in the adjacent brain. We found 21 upregulated genes when comparing SD-involved cortex versus tissue from the contralateral hemisphere of the same animals. Interestingly, there was almost complete overlap (21/16) with the DEGs identified using sham controls. Neuronal activity also differs in SD initiation zones, where sustained global depolarization is required to initiate propagating events. We found that gene expression varied as a function of the distance from the SD initiation site, with greater expression differences observed in regions further away. Functional and pathway enrichment analyses identified axonogenesis, branching, neuritogenesis, and dendritic growth as significantly enriched in overlapping DEGs. Increased expression of SD-induced genes was also associated with predicted inhibition of pathways associated with cell death, and apoptosis. These results identify novel biological pathways that could be involved in plasticity and/or circuit modification in brain tissue impacted by SD. These results also identify novel functional targets that could be tested to determine potential roles in recovery and survival of peri-infarct tissues.

Abstract
Two-photon microscopy (TPM) plays an important role in the study of the changes of the two important components of neurovascular units (NVU) - neurons and blood vessels after ischemic stroke (IS). IS refers to sudden neurological dysfunction caused by focal cerebral ischemia, which is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. TPM is a new and rapidly developing high-resolution real-time imaging technique used in vivo that has attracted increasing attention from scientists in the neuroscience field. Neurons and blood vessels are important components of neurovascular units, and they undergo great changes after IS to respond to and compensate for ischemic injury. Here, we introduce the characteristics and pre-imaging preparations of TPM, and review the common methods and latest progress of TPM in the neuronal and vascular research for injury and recovery of IS in recent years. With the review, we clearly recognized that the most important advantage of TPM in the study of ischemic stroke is the ability to perform chronic longitudinal imaging of different tissues at a high resolution in vivo. Finally, we discuss the limitations of TPM and the technological advances in recent years.

Abstract
AIMS Cortical spreading depolarization (CSD) is a wave of pathologic neuronal dysfunction that spreads through cerebral gray matter, causing neurologic disturbance in migraine and promoting lesion development in acute brain injury. Pharmacologic interventions have been found to be effective in migraine with aura, but their efficacy in acutely injured brains may be limited. This necessitates the assessment of possible adjunctive treatments, such as nonpharmacologic methods. This review aims to summarize currently available nonpharmacological techniques for modulating CSDs, present their mechanisms of action, and provide insight and future directions for CSD treatment. MAIN METHODS A systematic literature review was performed, generating 22 articles across 3 decades. Relevant data is broken down according to method of treatment. KEY FINDINGS Both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic interventions can mitigate the pathological impact of CSDs via shared molecular mechanisms, including modulating K+/Ca2+/Na+/Cl- ion channels and NMDA, GABAA, serotonin, and CGRP ligand-based receptors and decreasing microglial activation. Preclinical evidence suggests that nonpharmacologic interventions, including neuromodulation, physical exercise, therapeutic hypothermia, and lifestyle changes can also target unique mechanisms, such as increasing adrenergic tone and myelination and modulating membrane fluidity, which may lend broader modulatory effects. Collectively, these mechanisms increase the electrical initiation threshold, increase CSD latency, slow CSD velocity, and decrease CSD amplitude and duration. SIGNIFICANCE Given the harmful consequences of CSDs, limitations of current pharmacological interventions to inhibit CSDs in acutely injured brains, and translational potentials of nonpharmacologic interventions to modulate CSDs, further assessment of nonpharmacologic modalities and their mechanisms to mitigate CSD-related neurologic dysfunction is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spreading depolarizations (SDs) are believed to contribute to injury progression and worsen outcomes in focal cerebral ischemia because exogenously induced SDs have been associated with enlarged infarct volumes. However, previous studies used highly invasive methods to trigger SDs that can directly cause tissue injury (eg, topical KCl) and confound the interpretation. Here, we tested whether SDs indeed enlarge infarcts when induced via a novel, noninjurious method using optogenetics. METHODS Using transgenic mice expressing channelrhodopsin-2 in neurons (Thy1-ChR2-YFP), we induced 8 optogenetic SDs to trigger SDs noninvasively at a remote cortical location in a noninjurious manner during 1-hour distal microvascular clip or proximal an endovascular filament occlusion of the middle cerebral artery. Laser speckle imaging was used to monitor cerebral blood flow. Infarct volumes were then quantified at 24 or 48 hours. RESULTS Infarct volumes in the optogenetic SD arm did not differ from the control arm in either distal or proximal middle cerebral artery occlusion, despite a 6-fold and 4-fold higher number of SDs, respectively. Identical optogenetic illumination in wild-type mice did not affect the infarct volume. Full-field laser speckle imaging showed that optogenetic stimulation did not affect the perfusion in the peri-infarct cortex. CONCLUSIONS Altogether, these data show that SDs induced noninvasively using optogenetics do not worsen tissue outcomes. Our findings compel a careful reexamination of the notion that SDs are causally linked to infarct expansion.

[PMID: 35364802 PMCID: PMC9526760 DOI: 10.1007/s12975-022-01014-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2022] [Revised: 02/21/2022] [Accepted: 03/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Touch and other types of patient stimulation are necessary in critical care and generally presumed to be beneficial. Recent pre-clinical studies as well as randomized trials assessing early mobilization have challenged the safety of such routine practices in patients with acute neurological injury such as stroke. We sought to determine whether patient stimulation could result in spreading depolarization (SD), a dramatic pathophysiological event that likely contributes to metabolic stress and ischemic expansion in such patients. Patients undergoing surgical intervention for severe acute neurological injuries (stroke, aneurysm rupture, or trauma) were prospectively consented and enrolled in an observational study monitoring SD with implanted subdural electrodes. Subjects also underwent simultaneous video recordings (from continuous EEG monitoring) to assess for physical touch and other forms of patient stimulation (such as suctioning and positioning). The association of patient stimulation with subsequent SD was assessed. Increased frequency of patient stimulation was associated with increased risk of SD (OR = 4.39 [95%CI = 1.71-11.24]). The overall risk of SD was also increased in the 60 min following patient stimulation compared to times with no stimulation (OR = 1.19 [95%CI = 1.13-1.26]), though not all subjects demonstrated this effect individually. Positioning of the subject was the subtype of stimulation with the strongest overall effect on SD (OR = 4.92 [95%CI = 3.74-6.47]). We conclude that in patients with some acute neurological injuries, touch and other patient stimulation can induce SD (PS-SD), potentially increasing the risk of metabolic and ischemic stress. PS-SD may represent an underlying mechanism for observed increased risk of early mobilization in such patients.

Abstract
Spreading depolarizations (SD) refer to the near-complete depolarization of neurons that is associated with brain injuries such as ischemic stroke. The present gold standard for SD monitoring in humans is invasive electrocorticography (ECoG). A promising non-invasive alternative to ECoG is diffuse optical monitoring of SD-related flow and hemoglobin transients. To investigate the clinical utility of flow and hemoglobin transients, we analyzed their association with infarction in rat focal brain ischemia. Optical images of flow, oxy-hemoglobin, and deoxy-hemoglobin were continuously acquired with Laser Speckle and Optical Intrinsic Signal imaging for 2 h after photochemically induced distal middle cerebral artery occlusion in Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 10). Imaging was performed through a 6 × 6 mm window centered 3 mm posterior and 4 mm lateral to Bregma. Rats were sacrificed after 24 h, and the brain slices were stained for assessment of infarction. We mapped the infarcted area onto the imaging data and used nine circular regions of interest (ROI) to distinguish infarcted from non-infarcted tissue. Transients propagating through each ROI were characterized with six parameters (negative, positive, and total amplitude; negative and positive slope; duration). Transients were also classified into three morphology types (positive monophasic, biphasic, negative monophasic). Flow transient morphology, positive amplitude, positive slope, and total amplitude were all strongly associated with infarction (p < 0.001). Associations with infarction were also observed for oxy-hemoglobin morphology, oxy-hemoglobin positive amplitude and slope, and deoxy-hemoglobin positive slope and duration (all p < 0.01). These results suggest that flow and hemoglobin transients accompanying SD have value for detecting infarction.

Abstract
Neurocritical care management of acute brain injury (ABI) is focused on identification, prevention, and management of secondary brain injury (SBI). Physiologic monitoring of the brain and other organ systems has a role to predict patient recovery or deterioration, guide individualized therapeutic interventions, and measure response to treatment, with the goal of improving patient outcomes. In this review, we detail how specific physiologic markers of brain injury and neuromonitoring tools are integrated and used in ABI patients to develop therapeutic approaches to prevent SBI.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Unlike the spontaneously appearing aura in migraineurs, experimentally, cortical spreading depression (CSD), the neurophysiological correlate of aura is induced by non-physiological stimuli. Consequently, neural mechanisms involved in spontaneous CSD generation, which may provide insight into how migraine starts in an otherwise healthy brain, remain largely unclear. We hypothesized that CSD can be physiologically induced by sensory stimulation in primed mouse brain.
Methods
Cortex was made susceptible to CSD with partial inhibition of Na+/K+-ATPase by epidural application of a low concentration of Na+/K+-ATPase blocker ouabain, allowing longer than 30-min intervals between CSDs or by knocking-down α2 subunit of Na+/K+-ATPase, which is crucial for K+ and glutamate re-uptake, with shRNA. Stimulation-triggered CSDs and extracellular K+ changes were monitored in vivo electrophysiologically and a K+-sensitive fluoroprobe (IPG-4), respectively.
Results
After priming with ouabain, photic stimulation significantly increased the CSD incidence compared with non-stimulated animals (44.0 vs. 4.9%, p < 0.001). Whisker stimulation also significantly increased the CSD incidence, albeit less effectively (14.9 vs. 2.4%, p = 0.02). Knocking-down Na+/K+-ATPase (50% decrease in mRNA) lowered the CSD threshold in all mice tested with KCl but triggered CSDs in 14.3% and 16.7% of mice with photic and whisker stimulation, respectively. Confirming Na+/K+-ATPase hypofunction, extracellular K+ significantly rose during sensory stimulation after ouabain or shRNA treatment unlike controls. In line with the higher CSD susceptibility observed, K+ rise was more prominent after ouabain. To gain insight to preventive mechanisms reducing the probability of stimulus-evoked CSDs, we applied an A1-receptor antagonist (DPCPX) to the occipital cortex, because adenosine formed during stimulation from ATP can reduce CSD susceptibility. DPCPX induced spontaneous CSDs but only small-DC shifts along with suppression of EEG spikes during photic stimulation, suggesting that the inhibition co-activated with sensory stimulation could limit CSD ignition when K+ uptake was not sufficiently suppressed as with ouabain.
Conclusions
Normal brain is well protected against CSD generation. For CSD to be ignited under physiological conditions, priming and predisposing factors are required as seen in migraine patients. Intense sensory stimulation has potential to trigger CSD when co-existing conditions bring extracellular K+ and glutamate concentrations over CSD-ignition threshold and stimulation-evoked inhibitory mechanisms are overcome.

Abstract
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a stroke type with a high rate of mortality and morbidity. Post-SAH brain injury as a determinant of poor outcome is classified into the following two types: early brain injury (EBI) and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI). EBI consists of various acute brain pathophysiologies that occur within the first 72 hours of SAH in a clinical setting. The underlying mechanisms of DCI are considered to be cerebral vasospasm or microcirculatory disturbance, which develops mostly 4 to 14 days after clinical SAH. Glutamate is the principal neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, but excessive glutamate is known to induce neurotoxicity. Experimental and clinical studies have revealed that excessive glutamates are released after SAH. In addition, many studies have reported the relationships between excessive glutamate release or overactivation of glutamate receptors and excitotoxicity, cortical spreading depolarization, seizure, increased blood-brain barrier permeability, neuroinflammation, microthrombosis formation, microvasospasm, cerebral vasospasm, impairments of brain metabolic supply and demand, impaired neurovascular coupling, and so on, all of which potentially contribute to the development of EBI or DCI. As glutamates always exert their functions through one or more of 4 major receptors of glutamates, it would be valuable to know the mechanisms as to how glutamates cause these pathologies, and the possibility that a glutamate receptor antagonist may block the pathologies. To prevent the mechanistic steps leading to glutamate-mediated neurotoxicity may ameliorate SAH-induced brain injuries and improve the outcomes. This review addresses the current knowledge of glutamate-mediated neurotoxicity, focusing on EBI and DCI after SAH.

Abstract
Brain oscillations recorded in the extracellular space are among the most important aspects of neurophysiology data reflecting the activity and function of neurons in a population or a network. The signal strength and patterns of brain oscillations can be powerful biomarkers used for disease detection and prediction of the recovery of function. Electrophysiological signals can also serve as an index for many cutting-edge technologies aiming to interface between the nervous system and neuroprosthetic devices and to monitor the efficacy of boosting neural activity. In this review, we provided an overview of the basic knowledge regarding local field potential, electro- or magneto- encephalography signals, and their biological relevance, followed by a summary of the findings reported in various clinical and experimental stroke studies. We reviewed evidence of stroke-induced changes in hippocampal oscillations and disruption of communication between brain networks as potential mechanisms underlying post-stroke cognitive dysfunction. We also discussed the promise of brain stimulation in promoting post stroke functional recovery via restoring neural activity and enhancing brain plasticity.

Abstract
The development of ischemic lesions has primarily been studied in horizontal cortical space. However, how ischemic lesions develop through the cortical depth remains largely unknown. We explored this question using direct current coupled recordings at different cortical depths using linear arrays of iridium electrodes in the focal epipial endothelin-1 (ET1) ischemia model in the rat barrel cortex. ET1-induced impairments were characterized by a vertical gradient with (i) rapid suppression of the spontaneous activity in the superficial cortical layers at the onset of ischemia, (ii) compartmentalization of spreading depolarizations (SDs) to the deep layers during progression of ischemia, and (iii) deeper suppression of activity and larger histological lesion size in superficial cortical layers. The level of impairments correlated strongly with the rate of spontaneous activity suppression, the rate of SD onset after ET1 application, and the amplitude of giant negative ultraslow potentials (∼-70 mV), which developed during ET1 application and were similar to the tent-shaped ultraslow potentials observed during focal ischemia in the human cortex. Thus, in the epipial ET1 ischemia model, ischemic lesions develop progressively from the surface to the cortical depth, and early changes in electrical activity at the onset of ET1-induced ischemia reliably predict the severity of ischemic damage.

Abstract
Formulated as a group effort of the stroke community, the transforming concept of the neurovascular unit (NVU) depicts the structural and functional relationship between brain cells and the vascular structure. Composed of both neural and vascular elements, the NVU forms the blood-brain barrier that regulates cerebral blood flow to meet the oxygen demand of the brain in normal physiology and maintain brain homeostasis. Conversely, the dysregulation and dysfunction of the NVU is an essential pathological feature that underlies neurological disorders spanning from chronic neurodegeneration to acute cerebrovascular events such as ischemic stroke and cerebral hemorrhage, which were the focus of this review. We also discussed how common vascular risk factors of stroke predispose the NVU to pathological changes. We synthesized existing literature and first provided an overview of the basic structure and function of NVU, followed by knowledge of how these components remodel in response to ischemic stroke and brain hemorrhage. A greater understanding of the NVU dysfunction and remodeling will enable the design of targeted therapies and provide a valuable foundation for relevant research in this area.

Spreading Depolarization as a Therapeutic Target in Severe Ischemic Stroke: Physiological and Pharmacological Strategies. J Pers Med 2022; 12:jpm12091447.

Abstract
Background: Spreading depolarization (SD) occurs nearly ubiquitously in malignant hemispheric stroke (MHS) and is strongly implicated in edema progression and lesion expansion. Due to this high burden of SD after infarct, it is of great interest whether SD in MHS patients can be mitigated by physiologic or pharmacologic means and whether this intervention improves clinical outcomes. Here we describe the association between physiological variables and risk of SD in MHS patients who had undergone decompressive craniectomy and present an initial case of using ketamine to target SD in MHS. Methods: We recorded SD using subdural electrodes and time-linked with continuous physiological recordings in five subjects. We assessed physiologic variables in time bins preceding SD compared to those with no SD. Results: Using multivariable logistic regression, we found that increased ETCO2 (OR 0.772, 95% CI 0.655–0.910) and DBP (OR 0.958, 95% CI 0.941–0.991) were protective against SD, while elevated temperature (OR 2.048, 95% CI 1.442–2.909) and WBC (OR 1.113, 95% CI 1.081–1.922) were associated with increased risk of SD. In a subject with recurrent SD, ketamine at a dose of 2 mg/kg/h was found to completely inhibit SD. Conclusion: Fluctuations in physiological variables can be associated with risk of SD after MHS. Ketamine was also found to completely inhibit SD in one subject. These data suggest that use of physiological optimization strategies and/or pharmacologic therapy could inhibit SD in MHS patients, and thereby limit edema and infarct progression. Clinical trials using individualized approaches to target this novel mechanism are warranted.

Abstract
Clinical and experimental evidence suggests that spreading depolarizations (SD) usually occur in patients with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke when the gray matter of the brain is affected. In this study, we evaluated spatiotemporal changes of cerebral blood flow (CBF) during middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion and examined the relationship between SD occurrence and cerebral infarct development. In male isoflurane-anesthetized C57BL/6J mice, CBF changes over the ipsilateral parietal bone were recorded by laser speckle flowgraphy during and after transient (45 min, n = 22) or permanent occlusion (n = 22) of the distal MCA. Infarct volume was evaluated 24 hr after the operation. Upon MCA occlusion, CBF decreased by -55.6 ± 8.5 % in the lowest CBF and linearly recovered with increasing distance from the region. At 1-10 min after onset of occlusion, SD occurred and concentrically propagated from the core region, showing a decrease of CBF in the whole observed area along with a transient hyperemia and oligemia in the normal region. SD spontaneously re-occurred and propagated around the ischemic area in 37 % of mice, accompanied with a marked decrease of CBF in the core or a marked increase of CBF in the normal region. The CBF response to SDs gradually changed from the core to the normal area, depending upon the distance from the core region. Infarction was not observed in transiently (n = 2) or permanently (n = 4) occluded mice without SD. The infarct area tended to be larger with increasing number of SDs in transiently occluded mice. In conclusion, our findings suggest that the occurrence of SD during ischemia might elicit infarct formation and/or influence infarct development.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cortical spreading depolarisation (CSD) is characterised by a near-complete loss of the ionic membrane potential of cortical neurons and glia propagating across the cerebral cortex, which generates a transient suppression of spontaneous neuronal activity. CSDs have become a recognised phenomenon that imparts ongoing secondary insults after brain injury. Studies delineating CSD generation and propagation in humans after traumatic brain injury (TBI) are lacking. Therefore, this study aims to determine the feasibility of using a multistrip electrode array to identify CSDs and characterise their propagation in space and time after TBI. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This pilot, prospective observational study will enrol patients with TBI requiring therapeutic craniotomy or craniectomy. Subdural electrodes will be placed for continuous electrocorticography monitoring for seizures and CSDs as a research procedure, with surrogate informed consent obtained preoperatively. The propagation of CSDs relative to structural brain pathology will be mapped using reconstructed CT and electrophysiological cross-correlations. The novel use of multiple subdural strip electrodes in conjunction with brain morphometric segmentation is hypothesised to provide sufficient spatial information to characterise CSD propagation across the cerebral cortex and identify cortical foci giving rise to CSDs. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethical approval for the study was obtained from the Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute's ethics committee, HSR 17-4400, 25 October 2017 to present. Study findings will be submitted for publication in peer-reviewed journals and presented at scientific conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT03321370.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed cerebral ischemia remains one of the principal therapeutic targets after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. While large vessel vasospasm may contribute to ischemia, increasing evidence suggests that physiological impairment through disrupted impaired cerebral autoregulation (CA) and spreading depolarizations (SDs) also contribute to delayed cerebral ischemia and poor neurological outcome. This study seeks to explore the intermeasure correlation of different measures of CA, as well as correlation with SD and neurological outcome. METHODS Simultaneous measurement of 7 continuous indices of CA was calculated in 19 subjects entered in a prospective study of SD in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage undergoing surgical aneurysm clipping. Intermeasure agreement was assessed, and the association of each index with modified Rankin Scale score at 90 days and occurrence of SD was assessed. RESULTS There were 4102 hours of total monitoring time across the 19 subjects. In time-resolved assessment, no CA measures demonstrated significant correlation; however, most demonstrate significant correlation averaged over 1 hour. Pressure reactivity (PRx), oxygen reactivity, and oxygen saturation reactivity were significantly correlated with modified Rankin Scale score at 90 days. PRx and oxygen reactivity also were correlated with the occurrence of SD events. Across multiple CA measure reactivity indices, a threshold between 0.3 and 0.5 was most associated with intervals containing SD. CONCLUSIONS Different continuous CA indices do not correlate well with each other on a highly time-resolved basis, so should not be viewed as interchangeable. PRx and oxygen reactivity are the most reliable indices in identifying risk of worse outcome in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage undergoing surgical treatment. SD occurrence is correlated with impaired CA across multiple CA measurement techniques and may represent the pathological mechanism of delayed cerebral ischemia in patients with impaired CA. Optimization of CA in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage may lead to decreased incidence of SD and improved neurological outcomes. Future studies are needed to evaluate these hypotheses and approaches.

Real-time whole-brain imaging of hemodynamics and oxygenation at micro-vessel resolution with ultrafast wide-field photoacoustic microscopy. LIGHT, SCIENCE & APPLICATIONS 2022; 11:138.

Abstract
High-speed high-resolution imaging of the whole-brain hemodynamics is critically important to facilitating neurovascular research. High imaging speed and image quality are crucial to visualizing real-time hemodynamics in complex brain vascular networks, and tracking fast pathophysiological activities at the microvessel level, which will enable advances in current queries in neurovascular and brain metabolism research, including stroke, dementia, and acute brain injury. Further, real-time imaging of oxygen saturation of hemoglobin (sO2) can capture fast-paced oxygen delivery dynamics, which is needed to solve pertinent questions in these fields and beyond. Here, we present a novel ultrafast functional photoacoustic microscopy (UFF-PAM) to image the whole-brain hemodynamics and oxygenation. UFF-PAM takes advantage of several key engineering innovations, including stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) based dual-wavelength laser excitation, water-immersible 12-facet-polygon scanner, high-sensitivity ultrasound transducer, and deep-learning-based image upsampling. A volumetric imaging rate of 2 Hz has been achieved over a field of view (FOV) of 11 × 7.5 × 1.5 mm3 with a high spatial resolution of ~10 μm. Using the UFF-PAM system, we have demonstrated proof-of-concept studies on the mouse brains in response to systemic hypoxia, sodium nitroprusside, and stroke. We observed the mouse brain's fast morphological and functional changes over the entire cortex, including vasoconstriction, vasodilation, and deoxygenation. More interestingly, for the first time, with the whole-brain FOV and micro-vessel resolution, we captured the vasoconstriction and hypoxia simultaneously in the spreading depolarization (SD) wave. We expect the new imaging technology will provide a great potential for fundamental brain research under various pathological and physiological conditions.

Abstract
Focal brain damage after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage predominantly results from intracerebral haemorrhage, and early and delayed cerebral ischaemia. The prospective, observational, multicentre, cohort, diagnostic phase III trial, DISCHARGE-1, primarily investigated whether the peak total spreading depolarization-induced depression duration of a recording day during delayed neuromonitoring (delayed depression duration) indicates delayed ipsilateral infarction. Consecutive patients (n = 205) who required neurosurgery were enrolled in six university hospitals from September 2009 to April 2018. Subdural electrodes for electrocorticography were implanted. Participants were excluded on the basis of exclusion criteria, technical problems in data quality, missing neuroimages or patient withdrawal (n = 25). Evaluators were blinded to other measures. Longitudinal MRI, and CT studies if clinically indicated, revealed that 162/180 patients developed focal brain damage during the first 2 weeks. During 4.5 years of cumulative recording, 6777 spreading depolarizations occurred in 161/180 patients and 238 electrographic seizures in 14/180. Ten patients died early; 90/170 developed delayed infarction ipsilateral to the electrodes. Primary objective was to investigate whether a 60-min delayed depression duration cut-off in a 24-h window predicts delayed infarction with >0.60 sensitivity and >0.80 specificity, and to estimate a new cut-off. The 60-min cut-off was too short. Sensitivity was sufficient [= 0.76 (95% confidence interval: 0.65-0.84), P = 0.0014] but specificity was 0.59 (0.47-0.70), i.e. <0.80 (P < 0.0001). Nevertheless, the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve of delayed depression duration was 0.76 (0.69-0.83, P < 0.0001) for delayed infarction and 0.88 (0.81-0.94, P < 0.0001) for delayed ischaemia (reversible delayed neurological deficit or infarction). In secondary analysis, a new 180-min cut-off indicated delayed infarction with a targeted 0.62 sensitivity and 0.83 specificity. In awake patients, the AUROC curve of delayed depression duration was 0.84 (0.70-0.97, P = 0.001) and the prespecified 60-min cut-off showed 0.71 sensitivity and 0.82 specificity for reversible neurological deficits. In multivariate analysis, delayed depression duration (β = 0.474, P < 0.001), delayed median Glasgow Coma Score (β = -0.201, P = 0.005) and peak transcranial Doppler (β = 0.169, P = 0.016) explained 35% of variance in delayed infarction. Another key finding was that spreading depolarization-variables were included in every multiple regression model of early, delayed and total brain damage, patient outcome and death, strongly suggesting that they are an independent biomarker of progressive brain injury. While the 60-min cut-off of cumulative depression in a 24-h window indicated reversible delayed neurological deficit, only a 180-min cut-off indicated new infarction with >0.60 sensitivity and >0.80 specificity. Although spontaneous resolution of the neurological deficit is still possible, we recommend initiating rescue treatment at the 60-min rather than the 180-min cut-off if progression of injury to infarction is to be prevented.

Abstract
Spreading depolarizations (SDs) indicate injury progression and predict worse clinical outcome in acute brain injury. We demonstrate in rodents that acute brain swelling upon cerebral ischemia impairs astroglial glutamate clearance and increases the tissue area invaded by SD. The cytotoxic extracellular glutamate accumulation (>15 µM) predisposes an extensive bulk of tissue (4-5 mm2) for a yet undescribed simultaneous depolarization (SiD). We confirm in rat brain slices exposed to osmotic stress that SiD is the pathological expansion of prior punctual SD foci (0.5-1 mm2), is associated with astrocyte swelling, and triggers oncotic neuron death. The blockade of astrocytic aquaporin-4 channels and Na+/K+/Cl- co-transporters, or volume-regulated anion channels mitigated slice edema, extracellular glutamate accumulation (<10 µM) and SiD occurrence. Reversal of slice swelling by hyperosmotic mannitol counteracted glutamate accumulation and prevented SiD. In contrast, inhibition of glial metabolism or inhibition of astrocyte glutamate transporters reproduced the SiD phenotype. Finally, we show in the rodent water intoxication model of cytotoxic edema that astrocyte swelling and altered astrocyte calcium waves are central in the evolution of SiD. We discuss our results in the light of evidence for SiD in the human cortex. Our results emphasize the need of preventive osmotherapy in acute brain injury.

Neuroelectric Mechanisms of Delayed Cerebral Ischemia after Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23063102.

Abstract
Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) remains a challenging but very important condition, because DCI is preventable and treatable for improving functional outcomes after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The pathologies underlying DCI are multifactorial. Classical approaches to DCI focus exclusively on preventing and treating the reduction of blood flow supply. However, recently, glutamate-mediated neuroelectric disruptions, such as excitotoxicity, cortical spreading depolarization and seizures, and epileptiform discharges, have been reported to occur in high frequencies in association with DCI development after SAH. Each of the neuroelectric disruptions can trigger the other, which augments metabolic demand. If increased metabolic demand exceeds the impaired blood supply, the mismatch leads to relative ischemia, resulting in DCI. The neuroelectric disruption also induces inverted vasoconstrictive neurovascular coupling in compromised brain tissues after SAH, causing DCI. Although glutamates and the receptors may play central roles in the development of excitotoxicity, cortical spreading ischemia and epileptic activity-related events, more studies are needed to clarify the pathophysiology and to develop novel therapeutic strategies for preventing or treating neuroelectric disruption-related DCI after SAH. This article reviews the recent advancement in research on neuroelectric disruption after SAH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Peri-infarct depolarizations (PIDs) are spontaneous waves that propagate slowly across the penumbra region following stroke, contributing to secondary infarct growth and negatively affecting stroke outcomes. KATP channels are generally spread in the brain. Under conditions of ischemia and/or hypoxia, KATP channels play a cytoprotective role in neurons. However, it is still unknown whether KATP channels are involved in the initiation and propagation of PIDs. METHODS The Kir6.1 knockout (Kir6.1-/-) mice, Kir6.2 knockout (Kir6.2-/-) mice, and wild-type C57Bl6 mice (n = 8) were used. The middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) stroke model was made and PIDs were detected by an optical intrinsic signal (OIS) imaging system. RESULTS Much more PIDs appeared in Kir6.1-/-mice than that in Kir6.2-/- and WT mice in both the first hour and 4 hours following MCAO (3.9 ± 0.7 vs. 1.5 ± 0.3, p < 0,05; 3.9 ± 0.7 vs. 1.9 ± 0.3, p < 0.05; 20.0 ± 2.5 vs. 10.4 ± 2.4, p < 0.05; 20.0 ± 2.5 vs. 11.3 ± 1.4, p < 0.05). Furthermore, the first PID occurred much earlier in Kir6.1-/- mice than that in Kir6.2-/- mice and WT mice (21.3 ± 2.1 min vs. 34.1 ± 4.8 min, p < 0.05; 21.3 ± 2.1 min vs. 38.8 ± 3.4 min, p < 0.01). No significant differences in other characteristics of PIDs including originating sites, duration time, propagation patterns, and velocity were detected. Additionally, the migration of originating sites was observed. CONCLUSION This study shows that loss of Kir6.1, not Kir6.2 facilitates the induction of PIDs in focal cerebral ischemia, indicating that Kir6.1-forming channels in the brain may provide protection against PIDs.

Abstract
SUMMARY In this review, we discuss the utility of quantitative EEG parameters for the detection of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in the context of the complex pathophysiology of DCI and the limitations of current diagnostic methods. Because of the multifactorial pathophysiology of DCI, methodologies solely assessing blood vessel narrowing (vasospasm) are insufficient to detect all DCI. Quantitative EEG has facilitated the exploration of EEG as a diagnostic modality of DCI. Multiple quantitative EEG parameters such as alpha power, relative alpha variability, and alpha/delta ratio show reliable detection of DCI in multiple studies. Recent studies on epileptiform abnormalities suggest that their potential for the detection of DCI. Quantitative EEG is a promising, continuous, noninvasive, monitoring modality of DCI implementable in daily practice. Future work should validate these parameters in larger populations, facilitated by the development of automated detection algorithms and multimodal data integration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Within 2 min of severe ischemia, spreading depolarization (SD) propagates like a wave through compromised gray matter of the higher brain. More SDs arise over hours in adjacent tissue, expanding the neuronal damage. This period represents a therapeutic window to inhibit SD and so reduce impending tissue injury. Yet most neuroscientists assume that the course of early brain injury can be explained by glutamate excitotoxicity, the concept that immediate glutamate release promotes early and downstream brain injury. There are many problems with glutamate release being the unseen culprit, the most practical being that the concept has yielded zero therapeutics over the past 30 years. But the basic science is also flawed, arising from dubious foundational observations beginning in the 1950s METHODS: Literature pertaining to excitotoxicity and to SD over the past 60 years is critiqued. RESULTS Excitotoxicity theory centers on the immediate and excessive release of glutamate with resulting neuronal hyperexcitation. This instigates poststroke cascades with subsequent secondary neuronal injury. By contrast, SD theory argues that although SD evokes some brief glutamate release, acute neuronal damage and the subsequent cascade of injury to neurons are elicited by the metabolic stress of SD, not by excessive glutamate release. The challenge we present here is to find new clinical targets based on more informed basic science. This is motivated by the continuing failure by neuroscientists and by industry to develop drugs that can reduce brain injury following ischemic stroke, traumatic brain injury, or sudden cardiac arrest. One important step is to recognize that SD plays a central role in promoting early neuronal damage. We argue that uncovering the molecular biology of SD initiation and propagation is essential because ischemic neurons are usually not acutely injured unless SD propagates through them. The role of glutamate excitotoxicity theory and how it has shaped SD research is then addressed, followed by a critique of its fading relevance to the study of brain injury. CONCLUSIONS Spreading depolarizations better account for the acute neuronal injury arising from brain ischemia than does the early and excessive release of glutamate.

Abstract
Physiological effects of spreading depolarizations (SD) are only well studied in the first hours after experimental stroke. In patients with malignant hemispheric stroke (MHS), monitoring of SDs is restricted to the postoperative ICU stay, typically day 2-7 post-ictus. Therefore, we investigated the role of physiological variables (temperature, intracranial pressure, mean arterial pressure and cerebral perfusion pressure) in relationship to SD during the late phase after MHS in humans. Additionally, an experimental stroke model was used to investigate hemodynamic consequences of SD during this time window. In 60 patients with MHS, the occurrence of 1692 SDs was preceded by a decrease in mean arterial pressure (-1.04 mmHg; p = .02) and cerebral perfusion pressure (-1.04 mmHg; p = .03). Twenty-four hours after middle cerebral artery occlusion in 50 C57Bl6/J mice, hypothermia led to prolonged SD-induced hyperperfusion (+2.8 min; p < .05) whereas hypertension mitigated initial hypoperfusion (-1.4 min and +18.5%Δ rCBF; p < .01). MRI revealed that SDs elicited 24 hours after experimental stroke were associated with lesion progression (15.9 vs. 14.8 mm³; p < .01). These findings of small but significant effects of physiological variables on SDs in the late phase after ischemia support the hypothesis that the impact of SDs may be modified by adjusting physiological variables.

Abstract
Despite significant advances in the management of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), morbidity and mortality remain devastating particularly for high-grade SAH. Poor functional outcome usually results from delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI). The pathogenesis of DCI during aneurysmal SAH has historically been attributed to cerebral vasospasm, but spreading depolarizations (SDs) are now considered to play a central role in DCI. During SAH, SDs may produce an inverse hemodynamic response leading to spreading ischemia. Several animal models have contributed to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of SDs during aneurysmal SAH and provided new therapeutic approaches including N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonists and phosphodiesterase inhibitors. Herein we review the current knowledge in the field of SDs' pathogenesis and we detail the key experimental and clinical studies that have opened interesting new therapeutic approaches to prevent DCI in aneurysmal SAH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND When a patient arrives in the emergency department following a stroke, a traumatic brain injury, or sudden cardiac arrest, there is no therapeutic drug available to help protect their jeopardized neurons. One crucial reason is that we have not identified the molecular mechanisms leading to electrical failure, neuronal swelling, and blood vessel constriction in newly injured gray matter. All three result from a process termed spreading depolarization (SD). Because we only partially understand SD, we lack molecular targets and biomarkers to help neurons survive after losing their blood flow and then undergoing recurrent SD. METHODS In this review, we introduce SD as a single or recurring event, generated in gray matter following lost blood flow, which compromises the Na+/K+ pump. Electrical recovery from each SD event requires so much energy that neurons often die over minutes and hours following initial injury, independent of extracellular glutamate. RESULTS We discuss how SD has been investigated with various pitfalls in numerous experimental preparations, how overtaxing the Na+/K+ ATPase elicits SD. Elevated K+ or glutamate are unlikely natural activators of SD. We then turn to the properties of SD itself, focusing on its initiation and propagation as well as on computer modeling. CONCLUSIONS Finally, we summarize points of consensus and contention among the authors as well as where SD research may be heading. In an accompanying review, we critique the role of the glutamate excitotoxicity theory, how it has shaped SD research, and its questionable importance to the study of early brain injury as compared with SD theory.

Abstract
Background In ischemic stroke, cerebral autoregulation and neurovascular coupling may become impaired. The cerebral blood flow (CBF) response to spreading depolarization (SD) is governed by neurovascular coupling. SDs recur in the ischemic penumbra and reduce neuronal viability by the insufficiency of the CBF response. Autoregulatory failure and SD may coexist in acute brain injury. Here, we set out to explore the interplay between the impairment of cerebrovascular autoregulation, SD occurrence, and the evolution of the SD-coupled CBF response. Methods Incomplete global forebrain ischemia was created by bilateral common carotid artery occlusion in isoflurane-anesthetized rats, which induced ischemic SD (iSD). A subsequent SD was initiated 20–40 min later by transient anoxia SD (aSD), achieved by the withdrawal of oxygen from the anesthetic gas mixture for 4–5 min. SD occurrence was confirmed by the recording of direct current potential together with extracellular K+ concentration by intracortical microelectrodes. Changes in local CBF were acquired with laser Doppler flowmetry. Mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) was continuously measured via a catheter inserted into the left femoral artery. CBF and MABP were used to calculate an index of cerebrovascular autoregulation (rCBFx). In a representative imaging experiment, variation in transmembrane potential was visualized with a voltage-sensitive dye in the exposed parietal cortex, and CBF maps were generated with laser speckle contrast analysis. Results Ischemia induction and anoxia onset gave rise to iSD and aSD, respectively, albeit aSD occurred at a longer latency, and was superimposed on a gradual elevation of K+ concentration. iSD and aSD were accompanied by a transient drop of CBF (down to 11.9 ± 2.9 and 7.4 ± 3.6%, iSD and aSD), but distinctive features set the hypoperfusion transients apart. During iSD, rCBFx indicated intact autoregulation (rCBFx < 0.3). In contrast, aSD was superimposed on autoregulatory failure (rCBFx > 0.3) because CBF followed the decreasing MABP. CBF dropped 15–20 s after iSD, but the onset of hypoperfusion preceded aSD by almost 3 min. Taken together, the CBF response to iSD displayed typical features of spreading ischemia, whereas the transient CBF reduction with aSD appeared to be a passive decrease of CBF following the anoxia-related hypotension, leading to aSD. Conclusions We propose that the dysfunction of cerebrovascular autoregulation that occurs simultaneously with hypotension transients poses a substantial risk of SD occurrence and is not a consequence of SD. Under such circumstances, the evolving SD is not accompanied by any recognizable CBF response, which indicates a severely damaged neurovascular coupling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND How widely spreading depolarizations (SDs) propagate through the gyrencephalic brain, including sulci and deeper cortical areas, remains an important clinical question. Here, we investigated SDs that occur spontaneously after subarachnoid placement of autologous blood clots in sulci of the juvenile swine brain. METHODS To investigate the three-dimensional spread of waves, animals underwent continuous diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) for up to 6 h following clot placement. SD is the mechanism of the cytotoxic edema of developing infarction that is diagnosed by DW-MRI, and DW-MRI also captures transient diffusion restriction caused by SD in less injured or healthy brains. Here, images (b = 0, 375, and 750) were acquired across five coronal slices with 1.25 × 1.25-mm in-plane resolution and 5-mm slice thickness, and the protocol was repeated every 6.83-9.15 s. Spatial drift correction, temporal smoothing, and signal intensity normalization were applied to generate videos of diffusion signal intensity changes for each coronal slice. RESULTS Review of video data from five animals revealed ten discrete events consisting of focal diffusion restriction that propagated through cerebral cortex. All events originated in the cortex surrounding the sulcal clot, either in the gyrus (n = 4) or in the sulcal depth (n = 6). In six cases, two to three independent waves spread simultaneously in medial, lateral, and antero-posterior directions. Waves traveled within sulcal walls, traversed the depths of sulci to re-emerge on the adjacent gyrus, and, in three cases, spread fully around the dorsolateral convexity. One event spread deep to olfactory regions along midline cortex, and no events were observed contralateral to the subarachnoid clot. CONCLUSIONS Together, these results suggest that SDs in the injured gyrencephalic brain originate near the injury focus and can spread extensively through the cortex to wide and deep uninjured regions. These findings have implications for transient neurologic deficits in the neurocritically ill patient and relevance to patient monitoring and therapeutics.

Longitudinal functional imaging of VIP interneurons reveals sup-population specific effects of stroke that are rescued with chemogenetic therapy. Nat Commun 2021; 12:6112.

Abstract
Stroke profoundly disrupts cortical excitability which impedes recovery, but how it affects the function of specific inhibitory interneurons, or subpopulations therein, is poorly understood. Interneurons expressing vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) represent an intriguing stroke target because they can regulate cortical excitability through disinhibition. Here we chemogenetically augmented VIP interneuron excitability in a murine model of photothrombotic stroke and show that it enhances somatosensory responses and improves recovery of paw function. Using longitudinal calcium imaging, we discovered that stroke primarily disrupts the fidelity (fraction of responsive trials) and predictability of sensory responses within a subset of highly active VIP neurons. Partial recovery of responses occurred largely within these active neurons and was not accompanied by the recruitment of minimally active neurons. Importantly, chemogenetic stimulation preserved sensory response fidelity and predictability in highly active neurons. These findings provide a new depth of understanding into how stroke and prospective therapies (chemogenetics), can influence subpopulations of inhibitory interneurons.

Oxygen-Induced and pH-Induced Direct Current Artifacts on Invasive Platinum/Iridium Electrodes for Electrocorticography. Neurocrit Care 2021; 35:146-159. [PMID: 34622418 PMCID: PMC8496677 DOI: 10.1007/s12028-021-01358-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2021] [Accepted: 09/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Spreading depolarization (SD) and the initial, still reversible phase of neuronal cytotoxic edema in the cerebral gray matter are two modalities of the same process. SD may thus serve as a real-time mechanistic biomarker for impending parenchyma damage in patients during neurocritical care. Using subdural platinum/iridium (Pt/Ir) electrodes, SD is observed as a large negative direct current (DC) shift. Besides SD, there are other causes of DC shifts that are not to be confused with SD. Here, we systematically analyzed DC artifacts in ventilated patients by observing changes in the fraction of inspired oxygen. For the same change in blood oxygenation, we found that negative and positive DC shifts can simultaneously occur at adjacent Pt/Ir electrodes. METHODS Nurses and intensivists typically increase blood oxygenation by increasing the fraction of inspired oxygen at the ventilator before performing manipulations on the patient. We retrospectively identified 20 such episodes in six patients via tissue partial pressure of oxygen (ptiO2) measurements with an intracortical O2 sensor and analyzed the associated DC shifts. In vitro, we compared Pt/Ir with silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) to assess DC responses to changes in pO2, pH, or 5-min square voltage pulses and investigated the effect of electrode polarization on pO2-induced DC artifacts. RESULTS Hyperoxygenation episodes started from a ptiO2 of 37 (30-40) mmHg (median and interquartile range) reaching 71 (50-97) mmHg. During a total of 20 episodes on each of six subdural Pt/Ir electrodes in six patients, we observed 95 predominantly negative responses in six patients, 25 predominantly positive responses in four patients, and no brain activity changes. Adjacent electrodes could show positive and negative responses simultaneously. In vitro, Pt/Ir in contrast with Ag/AgCl responded to changes in either pO2 or pH with large DC shifts. In response to square voltage pulses, Pt/Ir falsely showed smaller DC shifts than Ag/AgCl, with the worst performance under anoxia. In response to pO2 increase, Pt/Ir showed DC positivity when positively polarized and DC negativity when negatively polarized. CONCLUSIONS The magnitude of pO2-induced subdural DC shifts by approximately 6 mV was similar to that of SDs, but they did not show a sequential onset at adjacent recording sites, could be either predominantly negative or positive in contrast with the always negative DC shifts of SD, and were not accompanied by brain activity depression. Opposing polarities of pO2-induced DC artifacts may result from differences in baseline electrode polarization or subdural ptiO2 inhomogeneities relative to subdermal ptiO2 at the quasi-reference.

Abstract
Ischemia is one of the most common causes of acquired brain injury. Central to its noxious sequelae are spreading depolarizations (SDs), waves of persistent depolarizations which start at the location of the flow obstruction and expand outwards leading to excitotoxic damage. The majority of acute stage of stroke studies to date have focused on the phenomenology of SDs and their association with brain damage. In the current work, we investigated the role of peri-injection zone pyramidal neurons in triggering SDs by optogenetic stimulation in an endothelin-1 rat model of focal ischemia. Our concurrent two photon fluorescence microscopy data and local field potential recordings indicated that a ≥ 60% drop in cortical arteriolar red blood cell velocity was associated with SDs at the ET-1 injection site. SDs were also observed in the peri-injection zone, which subsequently exhibited elevated neuronal activity in the low-frequency bands. Critically, SDs were triggered by low- but not high-frequency optogenetic stimulation of peri-injection zone pyramidal neurons. Our findings depict a complex etiology of SDs post focal ischemia and reveal that effects of neuronal modulation exhibit spectral and spatial selectivity.

Abstract
Spreading depolarization (SD) is associated with profound oligemia and reduced oxygen availability in the mouse cortex during the depolarization phase. Coincident pial arteriolar constriction has been implicated as the primary mechanism for the oligemia. However, where in the vascular bed the hemodynamic response starts has been unclear. To resolve the origin of the hemodynamic response, we used optical coherence tomography (OCT) to simultaneously monitor changes in the vascular tree from capillary bed to pial arteries in mice during two consecutive SDs 15 minutes apart. We found that capillary flow dropped several seconds before pial arteriolar constriction. Moreover, penetrating arterioles constricted before pial arteries suggesting upstream propagation of constriction. Smaller caliber distal pial arteries constricted stronger than larger caliber proximal arterioles, suggesting that the farther the constriction propagates, the weaker it gets. Altogether, our data indicate that the hemodynamic response to cortical SD originates in the capillary bed.

Abstract
Pericytes in the brain are candidate regulators of microcirculatory blood flow because they are strategically positioned along the microvasculature, contain contractile proteins, respond rapidly to neuronal activation, and synchronize microvascular dynamics and neurovascular coupling within the capillary network. Analyses of mice with defects in pericyte generation demonstrate that pericytes are necessary for the formation of the blood-brain barrier, development of the glymphatic system, immune homeostasis, and white matter function. The development, identity, specialization, and progeny of different subtypes of pericytes, however, remain unclear. Pericytes perform brain-wide 'transportation engineering' functions in the capillary network, instructing, integrating, and coordinating signals within the cellular communicome in the neurovascular unit to efficiently distribute oxygen and nutrients ('goods and services') throughout the microvasculature ('transportation grid'). In this review, we identify emerging challenges in pericyte biology and shed light on potential pericyte-targeted therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Following stroke, the survival of neurons and their ability to reestablish connections is critical to functional recovery. This is strongly influenced by the balance between neuronal excitation and inhibition. In the acute phase of experimental stroke, lethal hyperexcitability can be attenuated by positive allosteric modulation of GABAA receptors (GABAARs). Conversely, in the late phase, negative allosteric modulation of GABAAR can correct the suboptimal excitability and improves both sensory and motor recovery. Here, we hypothesized that octadecaneuropeptide (ODN), an endogenous allosteric modulator of the GABAAR synthesized by astrocytes, influences the outcome of ischemic brain tissue and subsequent functional recovery. We show that ODN boosts the excitability of cortical neurons, which makes it deleterious in the acute phase of stroke. However, if delivered after day 3, ODN is safe and improves motor recovery over the following month in two different paradigms of experimental stroke in mice. Furthermore, we bring evidence that, during the subacute period after stroke, the repairing cortex can be treated with ODN by means of a single hydrogel deposit into the stroke cavity.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Stroke remains a devastating clinical challenge because there is no efficient therapy to either minimize neuronal death with neuroprotective drugs or to enhance spontaneous recovery with neurorepair drugs. Around the brain damage, the peri-infarct cortex can be viewed as a reservoir of plasticity. However, the potential of wiring new circuits in these areas is restrained by a chronic excess of GABAergic inhibition. Here we show that an astrocyte-derived peptide, can be used as a delayed treatment, to safely correct cortical excitability and facilitate sensorimotor recovery after stroke.
