Main findings: 1) dendritic spines in peri-infarct and ipsilateral motor cortex most disrupted by stroke but generally recover by 6 weeks, 2) ipsilateral S2 and contra lateral S1 show minimal changes despite extensive connections, 3) neurons innervating stroke site survive just fine (see supp fig).

Very impressive work @silvia-anderle.bsky.social . Figure 7 is brilliant.

I’ll have to read this carefully but sure, we see pearl on string axons in mouse all the time when imaging in vivo, including healthy cortex. Was that controversial?

Hey Soren, Can you add me? we are looking in this direction too!

We also confirm some of your observations in early postnatal development!
