In the elderly, cerebral ischemia (CI) occurs in the presence of high levels of amyloid. Neuroinflammation plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease and CI. This study examined infarct size, neuroinflammation, and cognitive deficits over time in rat models of Alzheimer's disease and CI.
