62 yr old man has sudden onset of left hemiparesis . a ct scan of the head shows localized region of cortical infarction . 6 mnths later , which of the following cells are most likely to be observed adjacent to the lesion

ependymal cells

fibroblasts

glial cells

multinucleate giant cells

myofibroblasts

neutrophils



  #2

fibroblasts?


  #3

?fibroblasts


  #4

Neurons have died (necrosis) so glial cells full the empty space or it can even persist as a pseudocyst. Fibroblast don't take part in reparation in the brain!

  #6

In HIV infection, the microglia cells are fused together to form the multineucleated giant cells, right?

I believe its macroglial cells that carryout the function of forming scars,and to be specific its the function of astrocytes.
