abstract = {This handbook is the result of a projeet partly financed by
the German Ministry for Education, Research, Science and
Technlogy (BMBF) which ran for three years from 1995 to 1998
and involved several research groups in Germany. The
statement of Lord Adrian, famous for his discovery that the
frequency of firing in a nerve cell is a measure of the
intensity of the stimulus, quoted above is a way of
ethically justifying the use of animals in research. It also
contains a very important caveat. It requires us to ask
ourselves carefully whether there is really $\textit{no
other way}$ of conducting the research in questions. And
this is the aim that we have set ourselves for our joint
project. During the course of our work wo have developed and
relined different cell assay techniques which can be used
for investigating the effects of neuroprotective compounds
in strake research. We thought it would be worthwhile to
share some of the experimental details from our filldings
with a wider audience. And we have therefore decided in
association with the BMBF to print a handbook which
summarizes these methods. But first, why have we chosen
human strake as our research target? Thromboembolic stroke
causes the death of nerve cells by depriving the brain of an
adequate supply of oxygenated blood. The process is called
cerebral ischaemia and is primarily a vascular event which
leads to damage of brain tissue and impaired function.
Strake is the third leading cause of death after coronary
heart disease and cancer, and is an importatnt source of
adult disability in industrialized nations (Bonita, 1992).
Surprisingly, funding of stroke research per death by the
National Institutes of Health in the United States falls
well behind that of many other of these diseases (NIH,
1998). The brain depends on arterial blood for a continuous
supply of oxygen and glucose. Even if blood flow is
interrupted for only a few minutes, certain highly
vulnerable neurons will degenerate. If the interruption is
sustained, then all types of brain cells will eventually
die. Fundamental to aur understanding of the pracess of
cerebral ischaemia has been the presumption that brain cells
do not simply die beeause of energy failure. The link
betwecn ischaemia and neuronal death is considerably more
complicated. Strake triggers a chain reaction of eleelrieal
atld chemieal aetivity which is relatcd 10 ischaemic
depolarization, the release of exeitatory amino acids and
ehanges in calcium homeostasis (Matlson and Mark, 1996;
Tymianski and Tator, 1996). These events act in concert to
orchestrate cell death. [...]},
