Abstract
Oedema occurs when higher than normal amounts of solutes and water accumulate in tissues. In brain parenchymal tissue, vasogenic oedema arises from changes in blood-brain barrier permeability, e.g. in peritumoral oedema. Cytotoxic oedema arises from excess accumulation of solutes within cells, e.g. ischaemic oedema following stroke. This type of oedema is initiated when blood flow in the affected core region falls sufficiently to deprive brain cells of the ATP needed to maintain ion gradients. As a consequence, there is: depolarization of neurons; neural uptake of Na+ and Cl- and loss of K+; neuronal swelling; astrocytic uptake of Na+, K+ and anions; swelling of astrocytes; and reduction in ISF volume by fluid uptake into neurons and astrocytes. There is increased parenchymal solute content due to metabolic osmolyte production and solute influx from CSF and blood. The greatly increased [K+]isf triggers spreading depolarizations into the surrounding penumbra increasing metabolic load leading to increased size of the ischaemic core. Water enters the parenchyma primarily from blood, some passing into astrocyte endfeet via AQP4. In the medium term, e.g. after three hours, NaCl permeability and swelling rate increase with partial opening of tight junctions between blood-brain barrier endothelial cells and opening of SUR1-TPRM4 channels. Swelling is then driven by a Donnan-like effect. Longer term, there is gross failure of the blood-brain barrier. Oedema resolution is slower than its formation. Fluids without colloid, e.g. infused mock CSF, can be reabsorbed across the blood-brain barrier by a Starling-like mechanism whereas infused serum with its colloids must be removed by even slower extravascular means. Large scale oedema can increase intracranial pressure (ICP) sufficiently to cause fatal brain herniation. The potentially lethal increase in ICP can be avoided by craniectomy or by aspiration of the osmotically active infarcted region. However, the only satisfactory treatment resulting in retention of function is restoration of blood flow, providing this can be achieved relatively quickly. One important objective of current research is to find treatments that increase the time during which reperfusion is successful. Questions still to be resolved are discussed.

Abstract
Cortical spreading depolarization (SD) imposes a massive increase in energy demand and therefore evolves as a target for treatment following acute brain injuries. Anesthetics are empirically used to reduce energy metabolism in critical brain conditions, yet their effect on metabolism during SD remains largely unknown. We investigated oxidative metabolism during SD in brain slices from Wistar rats. Extracellular potassium ([K+]o), local field potential and partial tissue oxygen pressure (ptiO2) were measured simultaneously. The cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) was calculated using a reaction-diffusion model. By that, we tested the effect of clinically relevant concentrations of isoflurane on CMRO2 during SD and modeled tissue oxygenation for different capillary pO2 values. During SD, CMRO2 increased 2.7-fold, resulting in transient hypoxia in the slice core. Isoflurane decreased CMRO2, reduced peak [K+]o, and prolonged [K+]o clearance, which indicates reduced synaptic transmission and sodium-potassium ATPase inhibition. Modeling tissue oxygenation during SD illustrates the need for increased capillary pO2 levels to prevent hypoxia. In the absence thereof, isoflurane could improve tissue oxygenation by lowering CMRO2. Therefore, isoflurane is a promising candidate for pre-clinical studies on neuronal survival in conditions involving SD.

Exp Neurol 2023; 370:114569. [PMID: 37827229 DOI: 10.1016/j.expneurol.2023.114569] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2022] [Revised: 08/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 10/14/2023]
Abstract
The inhibitory neuropeptide Galanin (Gal) has been shown to mediate anticonvulsion and neuroprotection. Here we investigated whether Gal affects cortical spreading depolarization (CSD). CSD is considered the pathophysiological neuronal mechanism of migraine aura, and a neuronal mechanism aggravating brain damage upon afflictions of the brain. Immunohistochemistry localized Gal and the Gal receptors 1-3 (GalR1-3) in native rat cortex and evaluated microglial morphology after exposure to Gal. In anesthetized rats, Gal was applied alone and together with the GalR antagonists M40, M871, or SNAP 37889 locally to the exposed cortex. The spontaneous electrocorticogram and CSDs evoked by remote KCl pressure microinjection were measured. In rat cortex, Gal was present in all neurons of all cortical layers, but not in astrocytes, microglia and vessels. GalR2 and GalR3 were expressed throughout all neurons, whereas GalR1 was preponderantly located at neurons in layers IV and V, but only in about half of the neurons. In susceptible rats, topical application of Gal on cortex decreased CSD amplitude, slowed CSD propagation velocity, and increased the threshold for KCl to ignite CSD. In some rats, washout of previously applied Gal induced periods of epileptiform patterns in the electrocorticogram. Blockade of GalR2 by M871 robustly prevented all Gal effects on CSD, whereas blockade of GalR1 or GalR3 was less effective. Although microglia did not express GalRs, topical application of Gal changed microglial morphology indicating microglial activation. This effect of Gal on microglia was prevented by blocking neuronal GalR2. In conclusion, Gal has the potential to ameliorate CSD thus reducing pathophysiological neuronal events caused by or associated with CSD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Control of red blood cell velocity in capillaries is essential to meet local neuronal metabolic requirements, although changes of capillary diameter are limited. To further understand the microcirculatory response during cortical spreading depression, we analyzed the spatiotemporal changes of red blood cell velocity in intraparenchymal capillaries. METHODS In urethane-anesthetized Tie2-green fluorescent protein transgenic mice, the velocity of fluorescence-labeled red blood cells flowing in capillaries in layer I of the cerebral cortex was automatically measured with our Matlab domain software (KEIO-IS2) in sequential images obtained with a high-speed camera laser-scanning confocal fluorescence microscope system. RESULTS Cortical spreading depression repeatedly increased the red blood cell velocity prior to arterial constriction/dilation. During the first cortical spreading depression, red blood cell velocity significantly decreased, and sluggishly moving or retrograde-moving red blood cells were observed, concomitantly with marked arterial constriction. The velocity subsequently returned to around the basal level, while oligemia after cortical spreading depression with slight vasoconstriction remained. After several passages of cortical spreading depression, hypercapnia-induced increase of red blood cell velocity, regional cerebral blood flow and arterial diameter were all significantly reduced, and the correlations among them became extremely weak. CONCLUSIONS Taken together with our previous findings, these simultaneous measurements of red blood cell velocity in multiple capillaries, arterial diameter and regional cerebral blood flow support the idea that red blood cell flow might be altered independently, at least in part, from arterial regulation, that neuro-capillary coupling plays a role in rapidly meeting local neural demand.

Abstract
Lesion growth following acutely injured brain tissue after stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage and traumatic brain injury is an important issue and a new target area for promising therapeutic interventions. Spreading depolarization or peri-lesion depolarization waves were demonstrated as one of the significant contributors of continued lesion growth. In this short review, we discuss the pathophysiology for SD forming events and try to list findings detected in neurological disorders like migraine, stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage and traumatic brain injury in both human as well as experimental studies. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment strategies are highlighted and future directions and research limitations are discussed.

Abstract
Cortical spreading depression (CSD) is a wave of increased electrocortical activity and vasodilation, followed by sustained decreased activity and prolonged vasoconstriction. Although the discovery of CSD has been ascribed to Leão, rather than vasoconstriction, he only observed a depression of neural activity combined with vasodilation, with much weaker stimulation than used by his followers. There is a longstanding belief that CSD underlies migraine aura, with its positive symptoms such as mosaic patterns and its negative symptoms such as scotoma, and a similar propagation speed and vasoreaction pattern. However, there are many arguments against this theory. CSD is difficult to evoke in man, and electroencephalography (EEG) readings are not flattened during migraine (as opposed to EEG during CSD). Moreover, in contrast to CSD, migraine can occur bilaterally, and is not accompanied by a disrupted blood-brain barrier, increased cerebral metabolism, or cerebral cell swelling. Calcitonin gene-related peptide, which is thought to be characteristic of migraine pain, is increased in the blood from the external jugular vein during migraine in humans, but not during CSD in cats or rats. Moreover, CSD does not explain the appearance of premonitory symptoms or allodynia, long before the actual onset of aura. In addition, there is a variation in the pain mechanisms of migraine and CSD, and in their reaction to transcranial magnetic stimulation and several pharmacologic interventions. Finally, the origin of putative CSD in migraine is currently unknown.

Abstract
Spreading depolarizations (SDs) occur spontaneously in the cerebral cortex of subarachnoid hemorrhage, stroke or traumatic brain injury patients. Accumulating evidence prove that SDs exacerbate focal ischemic injury by converting zones of the viable but non-functional ischemic penumbra to the core region beyond rescue. Yet the SD-related mechanisms to mediate neurodegeneration remain poorly understood. Here we show in the cerebral cortex of isoflurane-anesthetized, young and old laboratory rats, that SDs propagating under ischemic penumbra-like conditions decrease intra and- extracellular tissue pH transiently to levels, which have been recognized to cause tissue damage. Further, tissue pH after the passage of each spontaneous SD event remains acidic for over 10 minutes. Finally, the recovery from SD-related tissue acidosis is hampered further by age. We propose that accumulating acid load is an effective mechanism for SD to cause delayed cell death in the ischemic nervous tissue, particularly in the aged brain.

Abstract
Cortical spreading depression (CSD) induces marked hyperemia with a transient decrease of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF), followed by sustained oligemia. To further understand the microcirculatory mechanisms associated with CSD, we examined the temporal changes of diameter of intraparenchymal penetrating arteries during CSD. In urethane-anesthetized mice, the diameter of single penetrating arteries at three depths was measured using two-photon microscopy during passage of repeated CSD, with continuous recordings of direct current potential and rCBF. The first CSD elicited marked constriction superimposed on the upstrokes of profound dilation throughout each depth of the penetrating artery, and the vasoreaction temporally corresponded to the change of rCBF. Second or later CSD elicited marked dilation with little or no constriction phase throughout each depth, and the vasodilation also temporally corresponded to the increase of rCBF. Furthermore, the peak dilation showed good negative correlations with basal diameter and increase of rCBF. Vasodilation induced by 5% CO2 inhalation was significantly suppressed after CSD passage at any depth as well as hyperperfusion. These results may indicate that CSD-induced rCBF changes mainly reflect the diametric changes of the intraparenchymal arteries, despite the elimination of responsiveness to hypercapnia.

Abstract
Spreading depression (SD) is a transient wave of near-complete neuronal and glial depolarization associated with massive transmembrane ionic and water shifts. It is evolutionarily conserved in the central nervous systems of a wide variety of species from locust to human. The depolarization spreads slowly at a rate of only millimeters per minute by way of grey matter contiguity, irrespective of functional or vascular divisions, and lasts up to a minute in otherwise normal tissue. As such, SD is a radically different breed of electrophysiological activity compared with everyday neural activity, such as action potentials and synaptic transmission. Seventy years after its discovery by Leão, the mechanisms of SD and its profound metabolic and hemodynamic effects are still debated. What we did learn of consequence, however, is that SD plays a central role in the pathophysiology of a number of diseases including migraine, ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, and traumatic brain injury. An intriguing overlap among them is that they are all neurovascular disorders. Therefore, the interplay between neurons and vascular elements is critical for our understanding of the impact of this homeostatic breakdown in patients. The challenges of translating experimental data into human pathophysiology notwithstanding, this review provides a detailed account of bidirectional interactions between brain parenchyma and the cerebral vasculature during SD and puts this in the context of neurovascular diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study is to characterize the relationship between ICP and EEG METHODS: Simultaneous ICP and EEG data were obtained from burst-suppressed patients and segmented by EEG bursts. Segments were categorized as increasing/decreasing and peak/valley to investigate relationship between ICP changes and EEG burst duration. A generalized ICP response was obtained by averaging all segments time-aligned at burst onsets. A vasodilatation index (VDI) was derived from the ICP pulse waveform and calculated on a sliding interval to investigate cerebrovascular changes post-burst. RESULTS Data from two patients contained 309 bursts. 246 ICP segments initially increased, of which 154 peaked. 63 ICP segments decreased, and zero reached a valley. The change in ICP (0.54 ± 0.85 mmHg) was significantly correlated with the burst duration (p < 0.001). Characterization of the ICP segments showed a peak at 8.1 s and a return to baseline at 14.7 s. The VDI for increasing segments was significantly elevated (median 0.56, IQR 0.31, p < 0.001) and correlated with burst duration (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Changes in the ICP and pulse waveform shape after EEG burst suggest that these signals can be related within the context of neurovascular coupling. SIGNIFICANCE Existence of a physiological relationship between ICP and EEG may allow the study of neurovascular coupling in acute brain injury patients.

Abstract
For decades it has been known that external K(+) ions are rapid and potent vasodilators that increase CBF. Recent studies have implicated the local release of K(+) from astrocytic endfeet-which encase the entirety of the parenchymal vasculature-in the dynamic regulation of local CBF during NVC. It has been proposed that the activation of KIR channels in the vascular wall by external K(+) is a central component of these hyperemic responses; however, a number of significant gaps in our knowledge remain. Here, we explore the concept that vascular KIR channels are the major extracellular K(+) sensors in the control of CBF. We propose that K(+) is an ideal mediator of NVC, and discuss KIR channels as effectors that produce rapid hyperpolarization and robust vasodilation of cerebral arterioles. We provide evidence that KIR channels, of the KIR 2 subtype in particular, are present in both the endothelial and SM cells of parenchymal arterioles and propose that this dual positioning of KIR 2 channels increases the robustness of the vasodilation to external K(+), enables the endothelium to be actively engaged in NVC, and permits electrical signaling through the endothelial syncytium to promote upstream vasodilation to modulate CBF.

Abstract
Cortical spreading depression (CSD) involves mass depolarization of neurons and glial cells accompanied with changes in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and energy metabolism. To further understand the mechanisms of CBF response, we examined the temporal diametric changes in pial arteries, pial veins, and cortical capillaries. In urethane-anesthetized mice, the diameters of these vessels were measured while simultaneously recording rCBF with a laser Doppler flowmeter. We observed a considerable increase in rCBF during depolarization in CSD induced by application of KCl, accompanied by a transient dip of rCBF with marked vasoconstriction of pial arteries, which resembled the response to pin-prick-induced CSD. Arterial constriction diminished or disappeared during the second and third passages of CSD, whereas the rCBF increase was maintained without a transient dip. Long-lasting oligemia with a decrease in the reciprocal of mean transit time of injected dye and mild constriction of pial arteries was observed after several passages of the CSD wave. These results indicate that CSD-induced rCBF changes consist of initial hyperemia with a transient dip and followed by a long-lasting oligemia, partially corresponding to the diametric changes of pial arteries, and further suggest that vessels other than pial arteries, such as intracortical vessels, are involved.

Abstract
Cortical spreading depolarization causes a breakdown of electrochemical gradients following acute brain injury, and also elicits dynamic changes in regional cerebral blood flow that range from physiological neurovascular coupling (hyperaemia) to pathological inverse coupling (hypoperfusion). In this study, we determined whether pathological inverse neurovascular coupling occurred as a mechanism of secondary brain injury in 24 patients who underwent craniotomy for severe traumatic brain injury. After surgery, spreading depolarizations were monitored with subdural electrode strips and regional cerebral blood flow was measured with a parenchymal thermal diffusion probe. The status of cerebrovascular autoregulation was monitored as a correlation between blood pressure and regional cerebral blood flow. A total of 876 spreading depolarizations were recorded in 17 of 24 patients, but blood flow measurements were obtained for only 196 events because of technical limitations. Transient haemodynamic responses were observed in time-locked association with 82 of 196 (42%) spreading depolarizations in five patients. Spreading depolarizations induced only hyperaemic responses (794% increase) in one patient with intact cerebrovascular autoregulation; and only inverse responses (-24% decrease) in another patient with impaired autoregulation. In contrast, three patients exhibited dynamic changes in neurovascular coupling to depolarizations throughout the course of recordings. Severity of the pathological inverse response progressively increased (-14%, -29%, -79% decrease, P < 0.05) during progressive worsening of cerebrovascular autoregulation in one patient (Pearson coefficient 0.04, 0.14, 0.28, P < 0.05). A second patient showed transformation from physiological hyperaemic coupling (44% increase) to pathological inverse coupling (-30% decrease) (P < 0.05) coinciding with loss of autoregulation (Pearson coefficient 0.19 → 0.32, P < 0.05). The third patient exhibited a similar transformation in brain tissue oxygenation, a surrogate of blood flow, from physiologic hyperoxic responses (20% increase) to pathological hypoxic responses (-14% decrease, P < 0.05). Pathological inverse coupling was only observed with electrodes placed in or adjacent to evolving lesions. Overall, 31% of the pathological inverse responses occurred during ischaemia (<18 ml/100 g/min) thus exacerbating perfusion deficits. Average perfusion was significantly higher in patients with good 6-month outcomes (46.8 ± 6.5 ml/100 g/min) than those with poor outcomes (32.2 ± 3.7 ml/100 g/min, P < 0.05). These results establish inverse neurovascular coupling to spreading depolarization as a novel mechanism of secondary brain injury and suggest that cortical spreading depolarization, the neurovascular response, cerebrovascular autoregulation, and ischaemia are critical processes to monitor and target therapeutically in the management of acute brain injury.

Abstract
Brain function critically relies on the supply with energy substrates (oxygen and glucose) via blood flow. Alterations in energy demand as during neuronal activation induce dynamic changes in substrate fluxes and blood flow. To study the complex system that regulates cerebral metabolism requires the combination of methods for the simultaneous assessment of multiple parameters. We developed a multimodal imaging device to combine positron emission tomography (PET) with laser speckle imaging (LSI) and RGB reflectometry (RGBR). Depending on the radiotracer, PET provides 3-dimensional quantitative information of specific molecular processes, while LSI and RGBR measure cerebral blood flow (CBF) and hemoglobin oxygenation at high temporal and spatial resolution. We first tested the functional capability of each modality within our system and showed that interference between the modalities is negligible. We then cross-calibrated the system by simultaneously measuring absolute CBF using (15)O-H2O PET (CBF(PET)) and the inverse correlation time (ICT), the LSI surrogate for CBF. ICT and CBF(PET) correlated in multiple measurements in individuals as well as across different animals (R(2)=0.87, n=44 measurements) indicating that ICT can be used for absolute quantitative assessment of CBF. To demonstrate the potential of the combined system, we applied it to cortical spreading depression (CSD), a wave of transient cellular depolarization that served here as a model system for neurovascular and neurometabolic coupling. We analyzed time courses of hemoglobin oxygenation and CBF alterations coupled to CSD, and simultaneously measured regional uptake of (18)F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ((18)F-FDG) used as a radiotracer for regional glucose metabolism, in response to a single CSD and to a cluster of CSD waves. With this unique combination, we characterized the changes in cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) in real-time and showed a correlation between (18)F-FDG uptake and the number of CSD waves that passed the local tissue. Finally, we examined CSD spontaneously occurring during focal ischemia also referred to as peri-infarct depolarization (PID). In the vicinity of the ischemic territory, we observed PIDs that were characterized by reduced CMRO2 and increased oxygen extraction fraction (OEF), indicating a limitation of oxygen supply. Simultaneously measured PET showed an increased (18)F-FDG uptake in these regions. Our combined system proved to be a novel tool for the simultaneous study of dynamic spatiotemporal alterations of cortical blood flow, oxygen metabolism and glucose consumption under normal and pathologic conditions.

Abstract
Cortical spreading depression (CSD) is a pathophysiological phenomenon, which underlies some neurological disorders, such as migraine and stroke, but its mechanisms are still not completely understood. One of the striking facts is that the spatiotemporal evolution of CSD wave is varying. Observations in experiments reveal that a CSD wave may propagate through the entire cortex, or just bypass some areas of the cortex. In this paper, we have applied a 2D reaction-diffusion equation with recovery term to study the spatiotemporal evolution of CSD. By modulating the recovery rate from CSD in the modeled cortex, CSD waves with different spatiotemporal evolutions, either bypassing some areas or propagating slowly in these areas, were present. Moreover, spiral CSD waves could also be induced in case of the transiently altered recovery rate, i.e. block release from the absolute refractory period. These results suggest that the refractory period contributes to the different propagation patterns of CSD, which may help to interpret the mechanisms of CSD propagation.

Abstract
Normal mitochondrial function in the process of metabolic energy production is a key factor in maintaining cellular activities. Many pathological conditions in animals, as well as in patients, are directly or indirectly related to dysfunction of the mitochondria. Monitoring the mitochondrial activity by measuring the autofluorescence of NADH has been the most practical approach since the 1950s. This review presents the principles and technological aspects, as well as typical results, accumulated in our laboratory since the early 1970s. We were able to apply the fiber-optic-based NADH fluorometry to many organs monitored in vivo under various pathophysiological conditions in animals. These studies were the basis for the development of clinical monitoring devices as presented in accompanying article. The encouraging experimental results in animals stimulated us to apply the same technology in patients after technological adaptations as described in the accompanying article. Our medical device was approved for clinical use by the FDA.

Abstract
Cortical spreading depression (CSD) underlies some neurological disorders. Previous imaging work suggests that CSD is associated with functional and structural alterations in the cerebral cortex. However, the changes in cortical functional network following CSD are poorly understood. The present study examines the changes in resting-state function connectivity (RSFC) of the mouse sensorimotor cortex after the onset of CSD by using optical intrinsic signal imaging. Our results show that RSFC between ipsilateral sensorimotor cortex (the cortex where CSD spreads) and contralateral sensorimotor cortex (the cortex where CSD does not spread) was significantly reduced after CSD. Moreover, a marked connectivity increase was found after CSD not only within contralateral somatosensory cortex and contralateral motor cortex themselves, but also between contralateral somatosensory cortex and contralateral motor cortex. Amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) analysis revealed an increase in ALFF in the ipsilateral cortex but a decrease in the contralateral cortex after CSD, indicating different effects of CSD on the neural activity in the ipsilateral and contralateral sensorimotor cortexes. These results suggest that CSD would alter the RSFC in the sensorimotor cortexes, and functional connectivity analysis may help to understand the effect of CSD on the cerebral functional network.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES OBJECTIVES The effect of cortical spreading depression (CSD) on extracellular K(+) concentrations ([K(+)](e)), cerebral blood flow (CBF), mitochondrial NADH redox state and direct current (DC) potential was studied during normoxia and three pathological conditions: hypoxia, after NOS inhibition by L-NAME and partial ischemia. METHODS A SPECIAL DEVICE (MPA) WAS USED FOR MONITORING CSD WAVE PROPAGATION, CONTAINING: mitochondrial NADH redox state and reflected light, by a fluorometry technique; DC potential by Ag/AgCl electrodes; CBF by laser Doppler flowmetry; and [K(+)](e) by a mini-electrode. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION CSD under the 3 pathological conditions caused an initial increase in NADH and a further decrease in CBF during the first phase of CSD, indicating an imbalance between oxygen supply and demand as a result of the increase in oxygen requirements. The hyperperfusion phase in CBF was significantly reduced during hypoxia and ischemia showing a further decline in oxygen supply during CSD. CSD wave duration increased during the pathological conditions, showing a disturbance in energy production.Extracellular K(+) levels during CSD, increased to identical levels during normoxia and during the three pathological groups, indicating correspondingly increase in oxygen demand. 5. The special design of the MPA enabled identifying differences in the simultaneous responses of the measured parameters, which may indicate changes in the interrelation between oxygen demand, oxygen supply and oxygen balance during CSD propagation, under the conditions tested. 6. In conclusion, brain oxygenation was found to be a critical factor in the responses of the brain to CSD.

Abstract
Cortical spreading depression (CSD) plays an important role in trauma, migraine and ischemia. CSD could induce pronounced hemodynamic changes and the disturbance of pH homeostasis which has been postulated to contribute to cell death following ischemia. In this study, we described a fluorescence-corrected multimodal optical imaging system to simultaneously monitor CSD associated intracellular pH (pH(i)) changes and hemodynamic response including hemoglobin concentrations and cerebral blood flow (CBF). CSD was elicited by application of KCl on rat cortex and direct current (DC) potential was recorded as a typical characteristic of CSD. The pH(i) shift was mapped by neutral red (NR) fluorescence which was excited at 516-556 nm and emitted at 625 nm. The changes in hemoglobin concentrations were determined by dual-wavelength optical intrinsic signal imaging (OISI) at 550 nm and 625 nm. Integration of fluorescence imaging and dual-wavelength OISI was achieved by a time-sharing camera equipped with a liquid crystal tunable filter (LCTF). CBF was visualized by laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) through a separate camera. Besides, based on the dual-wavelength optical intrinsic signals (OISs) obtained from our system, NR fluorescence was corrected according to our method of fluorescence correction. We found that a transient intracellular acidification followed by a small alkalization occurred during CSD. After CSD, there was a prolonged intracellular acidification and the recovery of pH(i) from CSD took much longer time than those of hemodynamic response. Our results suggested that the new multimodal optical imaging system had the potential to advance our knowledge of CSD and might work as a useful tool to exploit neurovascular coupling under physiological and pathological conditions.

Abstract
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) imaging can be used to monitor neuronal activation and ascertain mitochondrial dysfunction, for example during hypoxia. During neuronal stimulation in vitro, NADH normally becomes more oxidized, indicating enhanced oxygen utilization. A subsequent NADH overshoot during activation or on recovery remains controversial and reflects either increased metabolic activity or limited oxygen availability. Tissue P(2) measurements, obtained simultaneously with NADH imaging in area CA1 in hippocampal slices, reveal that during prolonged train stimulation (ST) in 95% O(2), a persistent NADH oxidation is coupled with increased metabolic demand and oxygen utilization, for the duration of the stimulation. However, under conditions of either decreased oxygen supply (ST-50% O(2)) or enhanced metabolic demand (K(+)-induced spreading depression (K(+)-SD) 95% O(2)) the NADH oxidation is brief and the redox balance shifts early toward reduction, leading to a prolonged NADH overshoot. Yet, oxygen utilization remains elevated and is correlated with metabolic demand. Under these conditions, it appears that the rate of NAD(+) reduction may transiently exceed oxidation, to maintain an adequate oxygen flux and ATP production. In contrast, during SD in 50% O(2), the oxygen levels dropped to a point at which oxidative metabolism in the electron transport chain is limited and the rate of utilization declined.

Abstract
Cortical spreading depression (CSD) is a reversible electrophysiological phenomenon that is not associated with tissue damage under normal blood supply. The induction of CSD during ischemia causes an increase in tissue damage, while pre-conditioning with CSD decreases the damage induced by a subsequent episode of ischemia. The mechanisms underlying these effects are not clear. Because the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is involved in tissue damage during ischemia-reperfusion, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of CSD on superoxide production (O(2)(-)), on hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) production and on superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the cerebral cortex. CSD was induced by KCl application on the cortical surface in rats. O(2)(-) production was evaluated using dihydroethidium (DHE) that is oxidized to the fluorescent dye ethidium (HEt) by O(2)(-). The extracellular level of H(2)O(2) was evaluated by microdialysis sampling and HPLC analysis. SOD activity was evaluated with a histochemical assay. The results showed an increase in H(2)O(2) production, an increase in SOD activity and a decrease in O(2)(-) concentration 1h after CSD induction.

Abstract
In this study we present a novel imaging method that combines high resolution cerebral blood flow imaging with a highly flexible map of absolute pO(2). In vivo measurements of pO(2) in animals using phosphorescence quenching is a well established method, and is preferable over electrical probes which are inherently invasive and are limited to single point measurements. However, spatially resolved pO(2) measurements using phosphorescence lifetime quenching typically require expensive cameras to obtain images of pO(2) and often suffer from poor signal to noise. Our approach enables us to retain the high temporal resolution and sensitivity of single point detection of phosphorescence by using a digital micromirror device (DMD) to selectively illuminate arbitrarily shaped regions of tissue. In addition, by simultaneously using Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging (LSCI) to measure relative blood flow, we can better examine the relationship between blood flow and absolute pO(2). We successfully used this instrument to study changes that occur during ischemic conditions in the brain with enough spatial resolution to clearly distinguish different regions. This novel instrument will provide researchers with an inexpensive and improved technique to examine multiple hemodynamic parameters simultaneously in the brain as well as other tissues.

Abstract
Recently, a universal, simple, and fail-safe mechanism has been proposed by which cerebral blood flow (CBF) might be coupled to oxygen metabolism during neuronal activation without the need for any tissue-based mechanism. According to this concept, vasodilation occurs by local erythrocytic release of nitric oxide or ATP wherever and whenever hemoglobin is deoxygenated, directly matching oxygen demand and supply in every tissue. For neurovascular coupling in the brain, we present experimental evidence challenging this view by applying an experimental regime operating without deoxy-hemoglobin. Hyperbaric hyperoxygenation (HBO) allowed us to prevent hemoglobin deoxygenation, as the oxygen that was physically dissolved in the tissue was sufficient to support oxidative metabolism. Regional CBF and regional cerebral blood oxygenation were measured using a cranial window preparation in anesthetized rats. Hemodynamic and neuronal responses to electrical forepaw stimulation or cortical spreading depression (CSD) were analyzed under normobaric normoxia and during HBO up to 4 ATA (standard atmospheres absolute). Inconsistent with the proposed mechanism, during HBO, CBF responses to functional activation or CSD were unchanged. Our results show that activation-induced CBF regulation in the brain does not operate through the release of vasoactive mediators on hemoglobin deoxygenation or through a tissue-based oxygen-sensing mechanism.

Abstract
Preconditioning with Cortical Spreading Depression induces a sort of tolerance to a subsequent episode of ischemia. The mechanism of this tolerance is not clear. We studied if such treatment induces epigenetic chromatin modifications on the hemispheres of rats preconditioned by Cortical Spreading Depression. The contralateral hemispheres were used as control. We determined the level of H3K4 and H3K9 methylation and the mRNA amounts for the two well known H3K4 methyltransferases (MLL and SET7) in rats 24 degrees h after the Cortical Spreading Depression induction. Western blotting experiments have been performed using three different types of primary antibodies against mono-, di- and tri-methyl H3K4 and primary antibody anti-dimethyl H3K9. In the same samples we checked if the H3 histones were replaced by the H3.3 histone variants that could be an additional marker of chromatin modifications. The level of mono- and di-methyl H3K4 was significantly lower in samples of the treated hemispheres than those of the contralateral hemispheres (40% and about 60%, respectively) while the level of tri-methylation remained unchanged. The level of di-methyl H3K9 was almost 60% higher in the treated hemispheres than the contralateral hemispheres. The treatment for Cortical Spreading Depression affected also the level of expression of H3K4 histone methyltransferase MLL and SET7 that decreased in the treated hemispheres in comparison to the control hemispheres (80% and 40%, respectively). The treatment for Cortical Spreading Depression instead had no effects on the overall amounts of mRNA for H3 and H3.3 histones. In conclusion epigenetic chromatin modifications are evident in rats 24 degrees h after the Cortical Spreading Depression induction.

Abstract
Cortical spreading depression (CSD) leads to dramatic changes in cerebral hemodynamics. However, mechanisms involved in promoting and counteracting cerebral vasodilator responses are unclear. Here we review the development and current status of this important field of research especially with respect to the role of perivascular nerves and nitric oxide (NO). It appears that neurotransmitters released from the sensory and the parasympathetic nerves associated with cerebral arteries, and NO released from perivascular nerves and/or parenchyma, promote cerebral hyperemia during CSD. However, the relative contributions of each of these factors vary according to species studied. Related to CSD, axonal and reflex responses involving trigeminal afferents on the pial surface lead to increased blood flow and inflammation of the overlying dura mater. Counteracting the cerebral vascular dilation is the production and release of constrictor prostaglandins, at least in some species, and other possibly yet unknown agents from the vascular wall. The cerebral blood flow response in healthy human cortex has not been determined, and thus it is unclear whether the cerebral oligemia associated with migraines represents the normal physiological response to a CSD-like event or represents a pathological response. In addition to promoting cerebral hyperemia, NO produced during CSD appears to initiate signaling events which lead to protection of the brain against subsequent ischemic insults. In summary, the cerebrovascular response to CSD involves multiple dilator and constrictor factors produced and released by diverse cells within the neurovascular unit, with the contribution of each of these factors varying according to the species examined.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Spreading depression (SD) is an epiphenomenon of neurological disorders, like stroke or traumatic brain injury. These diseases have been associated with an increased neurogenesis in the adult rodent dentate gyrus. Such proliferative activity can also be induced by conditions that--like SD--coincide with a disturbed neuronal excitability, eg, epilepsy. Thus we hypothesized that SD might likewise influence hippocampal neurogenesis and potentially act as mediator of injury-induced neurogenesis. METHODS Repetitive cortical SD were induced by epidural application of 3 mol/L KCl. At different time points thereafter dentate gyrus neurogenesis was investigated by means of intraperitoneal bromodeoxyuridine injections and immunocytochemistry. Spatial learning and memory was tested in a Morris water maze. RESULTS Cortical SD significantly increased proliferative activity in the ipsilateral subgranular zone on days 2 and 4. We detected about 280% more newborn cells in the dentate gyrus of rats that received bromodeoxyuridine during the first week after SD and were allowed to recover for 6 weeks. Most of these cells expressed the mature neuronal marker NeuN. The mitogenic action of SD was suppressed by systemic administration of the NMDA receptor antagonist MK-801. Behavioral performance of SD animals in the Morris water maze did not improve significantly. CONCLUSIONS From our data we postulate that the increased dentate gyrus neurogenesis observed after brain injury may at least partly be mediated by SD-like epiphenomena. Furthermore they indicate that even a strongly enhanced dentate gyrus neurogenesis may occur without significant improvements in hippocampus-dependent spatial learning and memory.

Abstract
Monitoring changes in the fluorescence of metabolic chromophores, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and flavin adenine dinucleotide, and the absorption of cytochromes, is useful to study neuronal activation and mitochondrial metabolism in the brain. However, these optical signals evoked by stimulation, seizures and spreading depression in intact brain differ from those observed in vitro. The responses in vivo consist of a persistent oxidized state during neuronal activity followed by mild reduction during recovery. In vitro, however, brief oxidation is followed by prolonged and heightened reduction, even during persistent neuronal activation. In normally perfused, oxygenated and activated brain tissue in vivo, partial pressure of oxygen (P(O2)) levels often undergo a brief 'dip' that is always followed by an overshoot above baseline, due to increased blood flow (neuronal-vascular coupling). By contrast, in the absence of blood circulation, tissue P(O2)in vitro decreases more markedly and recovers slowly to baseline without overshooting. Although oxygen is abundant in vivo, it is diffusion-limited in vitro. The disparities in mitochondrial and tissue oxygen availability account for the different redox responses.

Abstract
Cortical spreading depression (CSD) is a self-propagating wave of cellular depolarization that has been implicated in migraine and in progressive neuronal injury after stroke and head trauma. Using two-photon microscopic NADH imaging and oxygen sensor microelectrodes in live mouse cortex, we find that CSD is linked to severe hypoxia and marked neuronal swelling that can last up to several minutes. Changes in dendritic structures and loss of spines during CSD are comparable to those during anoxic depolarization. Increasing O2 availability shortens the duration of CSD and improves local redox state. Our results indicate that tissue hypoxia associated with CSD is caused by a transient increase in O2 demand exceeding vascular O2 supply.

Abstract
The outcome of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be predicted by the extracellular potassium concentration and the change in energy homeostasis. In this study, the authors investigated the effects of high potassium concentrations on extracellular levels of glucose, pyruvate and lactate in the rat striatum. Applying artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF) enriched with 120 mM potassium by reverse microdialysis leads to an increase in lactate and reduction in glucose and pyruvate. Consequently, the lactate to pyruvate ratio was also increased. These data are discussed in the context of recent studies on lactate/pyruvate conversion and the potential mechanisms whereby high potassium could affect this equilibrium. We conclude that ischemic-like events are unlikely to explain these K(+)-induced changes.

Abstract
Normal mitochondrial function is a critical factor in maintaining cellular homeostasis in various organs of the body. Due to the involvement of mitochondrial dysfunction in many pathological states, the real-time in vivo monitoring of the mitochondrial metabolic state is crucially important. This type of monitoring in animal models as well as in patients provides real-time data that can help interpret experimental results or optimize patient treatment. The goals of the present review are the following: 1) to provide an historical overview of NADH fluorescence monitoring and its physiological significance; 2) to present the solid scientific ground underlying NADH fluorescence measurements based on published materials; 3) to provide the reader with basic information on the methodologies used in the past and the current state of the art fluorometers; and 4) to clarify the various factors affecting monitored signals, including artifacts. The large numbers of publications by different groups testify to the valuable information gathered in various experimental conditions. The monitoring of NADH levels in the tissue provides the most important information on the metabolic state of the mitochondria in terms of energy production and intracellular oxygen levels. Although NADH signals are not calibrated in absolute units, their trend monitoring is important for the interpretation of physiological or pathological situations. To understand tissue function better, the multiparametric approach has been developed where NADH serves as the key parameter. The development of new light sources in UV and visible spectra has led to the development of small compact units applicable in clinical conditions for better diagnosis of patients.

Abstract
Spreading depression (SD) is a slowly propagating wave of neuronal depolarization altering ion homeostasis, blood flow and energy metabolism without causing irreversible damage of the tissue. As SD has been implicated in several neurological diseases including migraine and stroke, understanding these disorders requires systematic knowledge of the processes modified by SD. Thus, we induced repetitive SD in the rat cerebral cortex by topical application of 3 m KCl for approximately 2 h and evaluated the kinetics of SD-induced changes in cortical gene expression for up to 30 days using Affymetrix RAE230A arrays. The temporal profile showed a rapid expression of immediate early genes, genes associated with inflammation, metabolism, stress and DNA repair, ion transport, and genes that play a role in growth/differentiation. Stress-response genes could still be detected after 24 h. At this time, induced genes were mainly related to the cell membrane and adhesion, or to the cytoskeleton. A subset of genes was still affected even 30 days after SD. Real-time polymerase chain reactions and immunohistochemistry confirmed the microarray results for several of the transcripts. Our findings demonstrate a temporal pattern of gene expression which might promote tissue remodeling and cortical plasticity, and might probably account for the mediation of neuronal tolerance towards subsequent ischemia.

Abstract
Brain energy metabolism and signal transduction are intimely intricated. At the cellular level this is reflected by the interdependent metabolism of glutamate and glucose and the energetic compartmentalization between astrocytic glycolysis and neuronal metabolism. Astrocytes appear to have a particular importance in brain metabolism by regulating microcirculation and the repartition of energetic substrates in function of synaptic activity. The high level of O(2) consumption compared to the mass of tissue confers a particular vulnerability of brain to oxidative stress. The synthesis of glutathione, the main anti-oxidant of brain, appears to be dependent of the regulation of synaptic glutamate concentration by astrocytes. Deficiencies of astrocytes functions appear to play a key role in the physiopathology of brain injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of cortical spreading depression (CSD) on the metabolic, hemodynamic, electrical and ionic properties during anesthesia as compared with the awake state. METHODS The mitochondrial NADH redox state, reflected light, direct current (DC) potential, electrocorticography (ECoG), cerebral blood flow (CBF) and volume (CBV), and extracellular K(+) concentrations ([K(+)](e)), were measured continuously and simultaneously in real time using two unique monitoring systems that evaluate brain function. Three consecutive CSD waves were initiated using a KCl solution in both awake and anesthetized rats. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION CSD caused typical amplitude changes: biphasic waves in reflectance, oxidation cycles in NADH, an increase in CBF, CBV and in [K(+)](e), a negative shift in DC potential and depression in ECoG. Anesthesia by equithesin decreased significantly the baseline levels of CBF and [K(+)](e), showing a reduction in oxygen supply and demand. After anesthesia, CSD significantly decreased [K(+)](e) and NADH oxidation cycles, indicating a reduction in oxygen demand and in oxygen balance, respectively. Furthermore, anesthesia reduced CSD wave frequencies by slowing the recovery period, showing a decline in energy production during brain activation, or by changing electrophysiological properties of the tissue. No changes were found in the propagation rate and in the initiation period of CSD, which may indicate that equithesin does not block CSD initiation. In addition, we found that the whole cerebral cortex reacts homogenously to CSD and that equithesin may reduce oxygen demand and energy production, which may have a protective effect on the brain exposed to pathophysiological conditions.

Abstract
Diffuse optical correlation methods were adapted for three-dimensional (3D) tomography of cerebral blood flow (CBF) in small animal models. The image reconstruction was optimized using a noise model for diffuse correlation tomography which enabled better data selection and regularization. The tomographic approach was demonstrated with simulated data and during in-vivo cortical spreading depression (CSD) in rat brain. Three-dimensional images of CBF were obtained through intact skull in tissues(~4mm) deep below the cortex.

Abstract
Long-term bilateral common carotid occlusion (BCCAO) in rats induces brain hypoperfusion and structural injury, and could have relevance as a model of vascular dementia in which cortical metabolism is reduced. The present study was designed to assess whether phosphate-related energy compounds and blood supplies are markedly affected by KCI-induced cortical spreading depression (CSD), which leads to metabolic and cerebral blood flow changes in rats with chronic BCCAO, by means of near-infrared spectroscopy and phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups: BCCAO for 1 week (n = 6) and 4 weeks (n = 15), and sham operation for 1 week (n = 7) and 4 weeks (n = 7). The phosphocreatine (Pcr) index (PCr/PCr+Pi) and intracellular pH (pHi) were measured pre-CSD, just after KCl application, and at 20 and 40 minutes after CSD. Brains were evaluated by histology with hematoxylin and eosin and immunohistochemical reaction for glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). Rapid signal changes of oxy-, deoxy-, and total hemoglobin were observed in all KCl-applied brains. The PCr index and pHi values in BCCAO were not different than those in control rats. The percentage of vacuolated area in the optic tract and percentage values of GFAP-positive area in the frontoparietal cortex were significantly increased in BCCAO. The generation of CSD was seen in regions of cortical gliosis induced by BCCAO, and severe energy exhaustion did not occur during or after CSD. Our results may suggest that the functional interaction of neurons and glia is sustained even in brain tissue where the metabolic state of neurons is impaired and astrocytes are proliferated.

Abstract
We studied unique cerebral blood flow (CBF) responses to cortical spreading depression in mice using a novel two-dimensional CBF imaging technique, laser speckle flowmetry. Cortical spreading depression caused a triphasic CBF response in both rat and mouse cortex. In rats, mild initial hypoperfusion (approximately 75% of baseline) was followed by a transient hyperemia reaching approximately 220% of baseline. In mice, the initial hypoperfusion was pronounced (40-50% of baseline), and the anticipated hyperemic phase barely reached baseline. The duration of hypoperfusion significantly correlated with the duration of the DC shift. As a possible explanation for the pronounced hypoperfusion, mouse cerebral vessels showed enhanced resistance to relaxation by acetylcholine (3 microM) after K+ -induced preconstriction (20, 40, and 80 mM) but dilated normally in response to acetylcholine after preconstriction with U46619, a synthetic thromboxane A2 analog. By contrast, rat vessels dilated readily to acetylcholine after preconstriction by K+. The transient normalization of CBF after hypoperfusion in the mouse was abolished by L-NA but not 7-NI. In summary, the CBF response to cortical spreading depression in mice contrasts with the rat in that the initial hypoperfusion is pronounced, and the hyperemic phase is markedly diminished. The differences in CBF response between species may be in part caused by an increased sensitivity of mouse cerebral vessels to elevated extracellular K+.

Abstract
This study examined the effect of 2000 ppm CO on the brain of an awake rat. Measurements of regional perfusion as well as metabolic, ionic and electrical activities were used to examine whether mechanisms responsible for changes in brain perfusion were separable from those attributable to compromises in neuronal metabolism. Exposure to 2000 ppm CO resulted in elevation of cerebral blood flow. The stability of mitochondrial NADH redox level during CO exposure indicated that tissue hypoxia did not develop. The elevation in blood flow was inhibited by L-nitroarginine methyl ester, indicating that nitric oxide was responsible for the CO-induced elevation in blood flow. Exposure to 2000 ppm CO also triggered a significant decrease in pH and rise in extracellular potassium ion, possibly due to ion-pump inhibition. The amplitude of the electrocorticogram wave activity decreased, indicative of a compromise to physiological activity. These changes were not observed in rats anesthetized with pentobarbital during CO exposure, although anesthesia had no effect on the CO-induced elevation in blood flow and there was still no change in mitochondrial NADH redox level. We concluded that CO acts by separate mechanisms to alter cerebral vasoactivity and neuronal metabolic responses and that both processes are independent of hypoxic stress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This study was designed to investigate the influence of peri-infarct depolarization elicited by occlusion of the middle cerebral artery on the dynamics of the microcirculation. METHODS The microcirculation in the frontoparietal cortex of 9 rats was visualized in real time through a closed cranial window with the use of laser-scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy combined with intravenous fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-dextran and FITC-labeled erythrocytes. The direct current potential/electrocorticogram was continuously monitored. Intraluminal focal ischemia was induced for 2 hours in 6 rats anesthetized with halothane and mechanically ventilated. Reperfusion was monitored for 1 hour. Three rats underwent sham operation. Brains were removed 24 hours after occlusion and processed for histology. RESULTS In control conditions, the velocity of fluorescent erythrocytes through capillaries was 0.51+/-0.19 mm/s (mean+/-SD), and the diameter of the arterioles studied was 33+/-12 microm. Under ischemia, erythrocyte velocity through capillaries was significantly decreased to 0.33+/-0.14 mm/s, while arteriole diameter did not change significantly. During spontaneous peri-infarct depolarizations, arteriole diameter was significantly increased (119+/-23% of baseline), while capillary erythrocyte velocity was further decreased by 14+/-34%. The direction of arteriolar blood flow episodically and transiently reversed during approximately half of the peri-infarct depolarizations. The decrease in capillary erythrocyte velocity was more pronounced (23+/-37%) in these cases. After reperfusion, the microcirculatory variables rapidly returned to baseline. All rats in the ischemic group had infarcts 24 hours after occlusion. CONCLUSIONS Peri-infarct depolarization has an adverse influence on penumbral microcirculation, reducing capillary perfusion by erythrocytes, despite dilatation of arterioles. These findings suggest that a steal phenomenon contributes to the deleterious effect of these depolarizations.

Abstract
The dependence of brain function on blood glucose as a fuel does not exclude the possibility that lactate within the brain might be transferred between different cell types and serve as an energy source. It has been recently suggested that 1) about 85% of glucose consumption during brain activation is initiated by aerobic glycolysis in astrocytes, triggered by demand for glycolytically derived energy for Na+ -dependent accumulation of transmitter glutamate and its amidation to glutamine, and 2) the generated lactate is quantitatively transferred to neurons for oxidative degradation. However, astrocytic glutamate uptake can be fueled by either glycolytically or oxidatively derived energy, and the extent to which "metabolic trafficking" of lactate might occur during brain function is unknown. In this review, the potential for an astrocytic-neuronal lactate flux has been estimated by comparing rates of glucose utilization in brain and in cultured neurons and astrocytes with those for lactate release and uptake. Working brain tissue and isolated brain cells release large amounts of lactate. Cellular lactate uptake occurs by carrier-mediated facilitated diffusion and is normally limited by its dependence on metabolism of accumulated lactate to maintain a concentration gradient. The rate of this process is similar in cultured astrocytes and glutamatergic neurons, and, at physiologically occurring lactate concentrations, lactate uptake corresponds at most to 25% of the rate of glucose oxidation, which accordingly is the upper limit for "metabolic trafficking" of lactate. Because of a larger local release than uptake of lactate and the necessity for rapid lactate clearance to maintain the intracellular redox state to support lactate production in the presence of normal oxygen levels, brain activation in vivo is probably, in many cases, accompanied by a substantial overflow of glycolytically generated lactate, both to different brain areas and under some conditions (spreading depression, hyperammonemia) to circulating blood.
