TY - JOUR A1 - Albert-Weißenberger, Christiane A1 - Várrallyay, Csanád A1 - Raslan, Furat A1 - Kleinschnitz, Christoph A1 - Sirén, Anna-Leena T1 - An experimental protocol for mimicking pathomechanisms of traumatic brain injury in mice N2 - Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a result of an outside force causing immediate mechanical disruption of brain tissue and delayed pathogenic events. In order to examine injury processes associated with TBI, a number of rodent models to induce brain trauma have been described. However, none of these models covers the entire spectrum of events that might occur in TBI. Here we provide a thorough methodological description of a straightforward closed head weight drop mouse model to assess brain injuries close to the clinical conditions of human TBI.
