This study shows that the location of experimentally-induced spreading depolarizations (SDs) in a mouse stroke model affects infarct size, with SDs near the infarct core increasing damage and those in remote areas reducing it.

This study investigates the role of synaptic Zn2+ release in spreading depolarizations and shows that pharmacological chelation can improve recovery in vulnerable conditions.

This study identifies gene expression changes in brain tissue following spreading depolarization, showing activation of pathways related to cell differentiation, synaptic plasticity, and neuroprotection.
