Ultrastructural Substrates of Experimental Cerebral Edema

  • Conference paper

Abstract

The developing clinical interest in cerebral edema and its neuropathological definition has been paralled by an increasing number of attempts to produce an adequate experimental model for the study of this process. The entity has been vigorously studied and there is a voluminous literature on the subject filled with conflicting reports and divergent opinions with regard to both reliability of methods and morphological changes produced.

Aided by research grants MH00388, NB00782, and NB05591 from the National Institutes of Health.
