Relationship of mechanical impact magnitude to neurologic dysfunction severity in a rat traumatic brain injury model.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major brain injury type commonly caused by traffic accidents, falls, violence, or sports injuries. To obtain mechanistic insights about TBI, experimental animal models such as weight-drop-induced TBI in rats have been developed to mimic closed-head injury in humans....
