Implication

Comparative study reveals divergent stroke injury severity across mouse strains independent of vascular anatomy, indicating the critical role of intrinsic genetic factors.

Key Points

To assess whether variations in vascular anatomy or intrinsic biological factors drive differences in vulnerability to permanent focal cerebral ischemia among three common mouse strains.
Examined ischemic injury severity in three common mouse strains subjected to permanent focal cerebral ischemia.
Evaluated the presence and patency of posterior communicating arteries alongside preischemic and postischemic cortical blood flow.
The extent of cerebral ischemic injury differed markedly among the three mouse strains.
Patency and presence of posterior communicating arteries varied between strains but did not influence preischemic or postischemic cortical blood flow or correlate with injury volume.
Intrinsic factors unrelated to hemodynamic variability mediate the observed differences in ischemic susceptibility among strains.
