  • Title: Cortical Spreading Depression and Ischemia in Neurocritical Patients.
    Author: Wainsztein N, Rodríguez Lucci F.
    Journal: Neurosurg Clin N Am; 2018 Apr; 29(2):223-229. PubMed ID: 29502713.
    Abstract:
    Spreading depolarization in cerebral cortex is associated with swelling of neurons, distortion of dendritic spines, massive ion translocation with a large change of the slow electrical potential, and silencing of brain electrical activity. The term spreading depression represents a wave of spontaneous activity of the electrocorticogram that propagates through contiguous cerebral gray matter at a characteristic velocity. Spreading depression is a consequence of cortical spreading depolarization. Therefore, spreading depolarization is not always accompanied by spreading depression and the terms are not synonymous.
