The article presents the state of the art based on experimental studies in vivo and concerning the mechanisms of stroke-induced neurodegeneration in the brain. Molecular bases of differences in brain regions affected indirectly and directly by cortical ischaemia are also discussed. Proteins which may play a key role in apoptosis, including the Bcl-2 protein family, are described in relation to their responses to the infarct. Finally, therapeutic perspectives connected with modulation of function of these proteins are outlined.
