Recent studies show that prolonged (eg, 24-hour) postischemic hypothermia confers lasting histological and behavioral protection against severe global cerebral ischemia. However, functional abnormalities may be compensated for by undamaged brain regions and thus not detected by behavioral tests. To determine whether hypothermia preserves CA1 functional integrity, we measured synaptic and membrane properties of CA1 neurons in ischemic gerbils treated with postischemic hypothermia.
