| # 23394 | Cooling helmets may prevent stroke damage [Basie] |

Washington, February 6
Helmets that cool the brain may slow down the spreading damage caused by a

They discovered that when brain cells are deprived of oxygen and vital nutrients, as happens to parts of the brain affected by a stroke, a special channel on the surface of those brain cells is activated, triggering a lethal chain . . . cells to survive for more than three hours without oxygen and vital nutrients.
