Pathological sections of paraformaldehyde-perfused brain tissue of the various groups. a General observation of HE-stained tissue reveals the presence of localised intraparenchymal haemorrhagic foci (black arrows) and shifting of the ventricles and cisterns (hollow arrows) under compression. b Observation of the same HE-stained local region in the right cerebral cortex of all groups (100um, 20 ×). c Observation of the same Nissl-stained local region in the right cerebral cortex of all groups (50um, 40 ×). d Comparison of a normal neuron count within a 50-µm field of view in Nissl-stained sections of the same region in the right cerebral cortex of the various groups. n = 3 in the sham group and 6 per group in the rest. *P < 0.05, ^#P < 0.01. HE: haematoxylin and eosin
