A new model of transient, bilateral hemispheric ischemia in the unanesthetized rat is described. During ether anesthesia, the rat''s vertebral arteries were electrocauterized through the alar foramina of the 1st cervical vertebra and reversible clasps placed loosely around the common carotid arteries. After 24 h, the awake rats were restrained and the carotid clasps tightened to produce 4 vessel occlusion. The carotid clasps were removed after 10, 20 or 30 min for 4 vessel occlusion and the animals killed by perfusion fixation 72 h later. Rats which convulsed during the ischemic or post-ischemic period were excluded from study. All rats subjected to 20 or 30 min of 4 vessel occlusion showed ischemic neuronal damage. The H1 and paramedian hippocampus, striatum and layers 3, 5 and 6 of the posterior neocortex were the regions most frequently damaged. The advantages of the model are the ease of preparation of many animals, a high rate of predictable ischemic neuronal damage, a low incidence of seizures and the absence of anesthesia.
