Small strokes in mice cause a lasting brain-cell response

In mouse experiments, injury-responsive brain support cells persisted for at least nine months after a small stroke, with responses extending beyond the damaged area.In mouse experiments, injury-responsive brain support cells persisted for at least nine months after a small stroke, with responses extending beyond the damaged area.
