Subarachnoid hemorrhage and cognitive dysfunction

Date: Dec-04-2013Synaptosomal-associated protein-25 is an important factor for synaptic functions and cognition.

Prof. Zhong Wang and team from the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, China verified that synaptosomal-associated protein-25 expression in the temporal lobe, hippocampus, and cerebellum significantly lower at days 1 and 3 following subarachnoid hemorrhage using immunohistochemical staining and western blot analysis.

Synaptosomal-associated protein-25 expression was significantly lower following subarachnoid hemorrhage, which may be related to cognitive disorders after subarachnoid hemorrhage.

These findings were published in Neural Regeneration Research (Vol. 8, No. 29, 2013).
