However, the neural mechanisms linking these cerebrovascular and phenotypic alterations remain unclear. Here, we investigated the effect of CCH on neuronal activity in male mice with unilateral common carotid artery occlusion using optical imaging and MRI. Our examinations revealed enhanced neuronal activity in concurrence with increased glutamate and tissue acidosis up to seven days after occlusion. At 21-28 days after occlusion, neuronal activity decreased below baseline, while the acidotic but not the hyperglutamatergic state persisted. Notably, pharmacological blockade of the N-methyl-D-aspartate-type glutamate receptor, initiated at an early stage of CCH, suppressed the onset of neuronal hyperexcitation and subsequent deficits in neuronal activity. Altogether, we provide experimental evidence that CCH induces a glutamate surge and results in neuronal hyperexcitation at an early phase, which thereafter gives rise to a non-lethal but progressive deterioration of neuronal functions.</p>","PeriodicalId":15325,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism","volume":" ","pages":"1932-1946"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12511680/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144078332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
