Abstract
A great deal of knowledge has been accumulated during the last decade concerning the aging brain in health and disease. One of the major diseases causing death and disability in the elderly is ischemic stroke. However, in vivo studies, including the evaluation of brain function under ischemic conditions, have relied on models of focal cerebral ischemia in young brains. It is well documented that even in normal aging, the functional metabolism of the brain and its blood supply inevitably decline.
