Given the same early damage indicated by the magnitude of the diffusion of water molecules within the tissues shown in ADC, approximately 96.7% of the WT brains proceeded to ischemia damage as shown in T2-weighted MRI; this occurrence was only seen in 71.9% of CX3CR1−/− brains (Fig. 4E, p < 0.05). Here, CX3CR1 is linked to ischemia.
