Is Spreading Depression Bad for You?Focus on “Repetitive Normoxic Spreading Depression-Like Events Result in Cell Damage in Juvenile Hippocampal Slice Cultures”

Abstract

In this issue of the Journal of Neurophysiology (p. x), Pomper et al. report that repeated episodes of spreading depression-like events (SDLEs) caused irreversible injury in hippocampal slice cultures taken from immature brains. Although after the first four or five SDLEs, antidromic population
