Ischemic stroke is a devastating brain injury resulting in high mortality and substantial loss of
function. Understanding the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke risk, mortality, and functional …

Biologic sex influences many variables that are important to brain health in general, and to
stroke or cerebral ischemia in particular, such as general health status, cerebrovascular …

Functional failure of tau contributes to age-dependent, iron-mediated neurotoxicity, and as
iron accumulates in ischemic stroke tissue, we hypothesized that tau failure may exaggerate …

Studies have shown differences in specific cognitive ability domains and risk of Alzheimer's
disease between the men and women at later age. However it is important to know that sex …

The mammalian brain is highly vulnerable to oxygen deprivation, yet the mechanism
underlying the brain's sensitivity to hypoxia is incompletely understood. Hypoxia induces …

Central nervous system (CNS) injuries, such as stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and
spinal cord injury (SCI), are important causes of death and long-term disability worldwide …

Biological differences between males and females are found at multiple levels. However,
females have too often been under-represented in behavioral neuroscience research, which …

Stroke has a greater effect on women than men because women have more events and are
less likely to recover. Age-specific stroke rates are higher in men, but, because of their …

The past decade has resulted in a rapid increase in knowledge of mechanisms underlying
brain injury induced by intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). Animal studies have suggested …

Sex differences between women and men are often overlooked and underappreciated when
studying the cardiovascular system. It has been long assumed that men and women are …
