Ischemic postconditioning, a brief episode of ischemia after a prolonged ischemic insult, has been found to reduce the delayed neuronal loss after stroke. However, the mechanisms underlying such endogenous neuroprotective strategy remain obscure. In this study, we try to explore the excitatory postsynaptic signal events associated with neuroprotective effect of ischemic postconditioning.
