Adult cerebral ischemia (stroke) is a neurological injury caused by the occlusion of cerebral blood vessels and it is one of the leading causes of long-term disability. Notably, an ischemic stroke can occur also during brain development with the early perinatal period being characterized by critical period windows when experience provides essential information for the proper maturation of sensory, motor, and cognitive functions. Despite the large amount of evidence on adult stroke, very little it is still known about the impact of a stroke occurring during perinatal ages in the developing brain. To address this question, we performed the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO, a mouse model of ischemic injury) at perinatal age (P14) in mice pups and investigated the impact on motor and cognitive outcomes employing behavioral tests (gridwalk test, rotarod test, grip strength test, Y-maze test) longitudinally at different days (D) after stroke induction till adulthood. Overall, we did not find any general motor impairment assessed using the rotarod and grip strength tests. The gridwalk test revealed motor deficits at D2, and D9 in stroke mice in comparison to sham (control) mice. To investigate the impact on cognition we used the Y-maze test to assess working memory and the forced Y-maze to assess spatial novelty. Stroke mice showed spatial novelty memory motor deficits at D37. Histological analysis revealed that the volume of the brain lesion is on average 3 mm3 at D79. Our findings revealed that perinatal stroke impacts on motor and cognitive functions later in life.
