Stroke
Albany Medical College

Cerebral ischemia, or reduced blood flow to the brain, as occurs in stroke or trauma, is a significant clinical problem. Studies are aimed at understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms associated with ischemia. These involve identification of the chemical (e.g., amino acid) and cellular (e.g., astroglia) bases of this condition
