Description
Summary:Abstract Ischemic stroke triggers inflammation that promotes neuronal injury, leading to disruption of neural circuits and exacerbated neurological deficits in patients. Immune cells contribute to not only the acute inflammatory responses but also the chronic neural repair. During the post-stroke recovery, reparative immune cells support the neural circuit reorganization that occurs around the infarct region to connect broad brain areas. This review highlights the time-dependent changes of neuro-immune interactions and reorganization of neural circuits after ischemic brain injury. Understanding the molecular mechanisms involving immune cells in acute inflammation, subsequent neural repair, and neuronal circuit reorganization that compensate for the lost brain function is indispensable to establish treatment strategies for stroke patients.
