Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability. This study details a controlled cortical impact (CCI) protocol in rats for TBI research.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Traumatic Brain Injury Research
  • Animal Models

Background:

  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant global health issue, causing long-term cognitive, physical, and psychological deficits.
  • TBI incurs substantial economic costs in the United States, estimated at $60 billion annually.
  • Active research is ongoing in military and civilian medicine to understand TBI pathways and develop treatments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a standardized protocol for a widely used preclinical TBI model.
  • To facilitate research on the anatomical and physiological consequences of TBI.
  • To aid in the evaluation of potential therapeutic interventions for TBI.

Main Methods:

  • Presents a basic protocol for controlled cortical impact (CCI) in rats.
Keywords:
