A Novel Mouse Model of Penetrating Brain Injury

A Novel Mouse Model of Penetrating Brain Injury

Penetrating traumatic brain injury (pTBI) has been difficult to model in small laboratory animals, such as rats or mice. Previously, we have established a non-fatal, rat model for penetrating brain injury using a modified air-rifle that accelerates a pellet, which hits a small probe that then penetr...
