Impaired retrograde transport following concussive brain trauma. Representative photomicrographs demonstrating Fluoro-Gold (FG)-labeled cell bodies in the cortex. (A) FG-positive cell bodies at the site of injection in sham-injured mice. (B) Note the absence of FG-labeled cell bodies in the cortex contralateral to the site of injection following transection of callosal fibers. (C) FG-positive cell bodies in the homotypic cortex contralateral to the site of injection in sham-injured mice. (D) At 14 days post-injury; note the particulate nature of FG (see also inset in C). (E) Quantification of FG-positive cells was performed as described in the methods section. All values are presented as mean±standard deviation (HPF, high-powered field; *p<0.05 compared to sham-injured animals; scale bar=100 μm for panels AD, and 10 μm for inset in panel C).
