Neurologic deficits in the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) rat model. A The modified neurologic severity score and B the infarct volume were used to evaluate the neuro-clinicopathological deficits in the MCAO model. The picture showed the ischemic penumbra of the cerebral cortex harvested for sequencing analysis. N = 7; the data are shown as mean ± SD
