Putting brain cells into a hibernation-like state via drugs that cool down core body temperature may help to preserve them following a stroke

A two-drug combination induces hypothermia in mice by lowering metabolism and dilating blood vessels.

Putting brain cells into a hibernation-like state via drugs that cool down core body temperature may help to preserve them following a stroke

In experiments with mice, monkeys, and people, chemically induced hypothermia showed promise in reducing brain injury from stroke.
