• EEG and MRI measures have prognostic values in preclinical models of stroke.
• We reviewed the EEG changes in rodent focal ischemia models.
• MRI approaches applied in preclinical investigations of stroke are reviewed.
• Rationale for preclinical studies of stroke using combined MRI and EEG is described.
Animal models are useful tools for better understanding the mechanisms underlying neurological deterioration after an ischemic insult as well as subsequent evolution of changes and recovery of functions. In response to the updated requirements for preclinical investigations of stroke to include relevant functional measurement techniques and biomarker endpoints, we here review the state of knowledge on application of some translational electrophysiological and neuroimaging methods, and in particular, electroencephalography monitoring and magnetic resonance imaging in rodent models of ischemic stroke. This may lead to improvement of diagnostic methods and identification of new therapeutic targets, which would considerably advance the translational value of preclinical stroke research.
