04:19A Mouse Model of Single and Repetitive Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
11.6K
Athletes absorb several hundred mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI)/concussions every year; however, the consequence of these on the brain is poorly understood. Therefore, an animal model of single and repetitive mTBI that consistently replicates clinically relevant symptoms provides the means to advance the study of mTBI and...

This video demonstrates the delivery of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in mice. After exposing the skull, the TBI site is marked. The mouse is then positioned under the TBI device. The impact is delivered by lifting the metal rod and allowing it to drop freely onto the impactor, which is in contact with the...

11:04Lateral Fluid Percussion: Model of Traumatic Brain Injury in Mice
41.4K
Lateral fluid percussion (LFP), an established model of traumatic brain injury in mice, is demonstrated. LFP fulfills three major criteria for animal models: validity, reliability and clinical relevance. The procedure, consisting of surgical craniotomy, fixation of hub followed by induction of injury, resulting in focal and diffuse injuries, is...

08:59A Novel In Vitro Model of Blast Traumatic Brain Injury
11.2K
This paper describes a novel model of primary blast traumatic brain injury. A compressed-air driven shock tube is used to expose in vitro mouse hippocampal slice cultures to a single shock wave. This is a simple and rapid protocol generating a reproducible brain tissue injury with a high throughput.
