Along with an altered immunosignal of the cytoskeletal elements MAP2 and NF-L in the ischemia-affected neocortex, the present study revealed a gradually decreasing signal of tricellulin, MFAP5 and α-catenin toward the ischemic region of the neocortex, and also in the ischemic subcortex. This evidence concerns the gene MAP2 and ischemia.
