Which of the following most correctly describes the sequence of toxic events that occur in brain during a stroke?
a. increased blood flow > activation of NA+/K+ transporters > membrane hyperpolarization > GABA release > excessive accumulation of extracellular CA++
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
