Traumatic brain injury in the rat: characterization of a lateral fluid-percussion model

TL;DR: The lateral model of fluid-percussion injury in the rat reproduces many of the features of head injury observed in other models and species and may therefore be a useful experimental model for the study of the pathophysiology of traumatic brain injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective vulnerability of dentate hilar neurons following traumatic brain injury: a potential mechanistic link between head trauma and disorders of the hippocampus

TL;DR: A momentary impact to the surface of the brain can cause selective, bilateral hippocampal injury with associated abnormalities in dentate gyrus physiology, and the pattern of cell loss is similar to that observed in some patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.
Journal Article

Evidence of apoptotic cell death after experimental traumatic brain injury in the rat.

TL;DR: Using the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated biotinylated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick end labeling (TUNEL) method, data suggest that apoptosis, in addition to necrotic cell death, occurs after traumatic brain injury, and that internucleosomal fragmentation of DNA may be associated with certain types of necrotIC cell death.
