The paper investigates how blood brain barrier impairment affects spreading depolarizations and negative ultraslow potentials in locust CNS using pharmacological treatments and ion homeostasis analysis.

This study shows that aging slows recovery from spreading depolarization in locusts, while antioxidant treatment accelerates recovery, suggesting oxidative stress contributes to age-related vulnerability.

This study shows palytoxin can trigger reversible spreading depolarization in locust CNS and interfere with anoxic SD.
