Patterns of Bcl-2 gene expression in LFP and LCI models of traumatic brain injury^a

Ipsilateral Brain Region	Model	Bcl-2 mRNA	Bcl-x_L mRNA	Bax mRNA
Parietal Cortex	LFP	^⇓ 1d→3d	^⇓ 1d only	^⇑ 3d→7d
	LCI	^⇓ 6h only	^⇓ 6h→7d	^⇑ 6h only

Hippocampus	LFP	^⇓ 1d→7d	No change^§	^⇑ 3d→7d
	LCI	below LOQ	Biphasic^§: ^⇓ 6h and ^⇓ 3d	^⇑ 3d→7d
