Focal cerebral ischemia causes rapid intensity changes in diffusion-weighted images (DWI) and elevated lactate as detected by localized proton spectroscopy (1H-MRS). To investigate whether such changes can also be evoked by perischemic depolarizations, we combined DWI and 1H-MRS measurements with DC potential recordings. About 40 min after occlusion of the middle cerebral artery in a rat, a negative DC deflection was observed indicating transient cell depolarization. Coincidentally with the depolarization a transient increase of the DWI signal intensity and a partially reversible increase of lactate occurred in the periphery of the ischemic territory. These results show that peri-ischemic depolarization, known to contribute to the evolution of cerebral infarction, evokes disturbances that can be detected by DWI and 1H-MRS.
