Mongolian gerbils lack a complete cerebral Circle of Willis and develop global cerebral ischemia after bilateral common carotid artery occlusion.

Model identity

Model name
two-vessel occlusion global cerebral ischemia Mongolian gerbil
Species
Mongolian gerbil

Biological characteristics

Phenotype stage
Global ischemic injury develops over hours to days; hippocampal injury is a characteristic endpoint.
Research questions
Global cerebral ischemia; hippocampal vulnerability; delayed neuronal death.
Limitations
This is a global ischemia model, not focal stroke, and is specific to the gerbil Circle of Willis anatomy.
