Cover Illustration: Spontaneous exploration of an enriched environment in awake, behaving rats can completely protect the cortex from impending stroke. In rats placed under ischemic duress via middle cerebral artery occlusion, cortical activation via sensory and motor activity within three hours of ischemic onset is sufficient to induce neuroprotection. For details see the article of Lay & Frostig (Complete protection from impending stroke following permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion in awake, behaving rats. Eur. J. Neurosci ., 40 , 3413–3421).
