A The application of cathodal tDCS was performed immediately after the induction of transient cerebral ischemia. The sacrifice point is 5 days, 7 days, and 10 days after its tDCS application. B CV staining and C F-J C histofluorescence staining in gerbil hippocampal CA1 regions. (b1 and c1) In the sham group, several CV-positive cells were observed primarily in the SP layer of the hippocampal CA1 regions. However, no F-J C-positive cells were identified. (b2 and c2) In the Isch group, a few CV-positive cells and several F-J C-positive cells were observed. (b3–b5 and c3–c5) In the 5 days, 7 days and 10 days group, CV-positive cells were observed primarily in the SP layer of the hippocampal CA1 regions. A few F-J C-positive cells were observed. SO, stratum oriens; SR, stratum radiatum; SP, stratum pyramidal. Scale bar = 50 µm. (n = 7 per group)
