The ins and outs of the BCCAo model for chronic hypoperfusion: a multimodal and longitudinal MRI approach.
Cerebral hypoperfusion induced by bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (BCCAo) in rodents has been proposed as an experimental model of white matter damage and vascular dementia. However, the histopathological and behavioral alterations reported in this model are variable and a full characteriz...
