Fig 3 The percentage of injured neurones in the hippocampus and changes in body temperature in Experiments 3–5. Experiment 3: benzodiazepine/vehicle: vehicle administered after BCAO in benzodiazepine-tolerant rats. Benzodiazepine/diazepam: diazepam administered after BCAO in benzodiazepine-tolerant rats. Vehicle/vehicle: vehicle administered after BCAO in benzodiazepine-naive rats. Vehicle/diazepam: diazepam administered after BCAO in benzodiazepine-naive rats. Experiment 4: benzodiazepine/vehicle: vehicle administered before BCAO in benzodiazepine-tolerant rats. Benzodiazepine/flumazenil: flumazenil administered before BCAO in benzodiazepine-tolerant rats. Vehicle/vehicle: vehicle administered before BCAO in benzodiazepine-naive rats. Vehicle/flumazenil: vehicle administered before BCAO in benzodiazepine-naive rats. Experiment 5: benzodiazepine/vehicle/diazepam: vehicle administered before BCAO and diazepam given after BCAO in benzodiazepine-tolerant rats. Benzodiazepine/flumazenil/diazepam: flumazenil administered before BCAO and diazepam given after BCAO in benzodiazepine-tolerant rats. Vehicle/vehicle/diazepam: vehicle administered before BCAO and diazepam given after BCAO in benzodiazepine-naive rats. Vehicle/flumazenil/diazepam: vehicle administered before BCAO and diazepam given after BCAO in benzodiazepine-naive rats. Pre, during, post-ischaemia: just before, during, and just after BCAO, respectively. 10 min, 1, 2, 3, 4 h, at 10 min and 1, 2, 3, and 4 h after BCAO, respectively.
