Which of the following most correctly describes the sequence of toxic events that occur in brain during a stroke?

  b. reduced blood flow > inactivation of Na+/K+ transporters > membrane depolarization > glutamate release > excessive accumulation of intracellular CA++
  c. reduced blood flow > activation of Na+/K+ transporters > membrane hyperpolarization > DA release > excessive accumulation of intracellular CL-
  d. reduced blood flow > inactivation of Na+/K+ transporters > membrane hyperpolarization > GABA release > excessive accumulation of intracellular CA++
  e. increased blood flow > reduced accumulation of extracellular CA++ > membrane hyperpolarization > GABA release
