FIG. 1.
A brain atlas coronal section (Paxinos and Watson, 1997) illustrating the core contused region (hatched area) at −2.80 mm to the bregma. Measurements for LCMRglc and LCBF and the density of β-APP-immunoreactive profiles were determined in the following regions of interest: (1) contusion core, (2) pericontusion margin, (3) cingulum, (4) corpus callosum, (5) external capsule, (6) internal capsule, (7) CA1, (8) CA3, (9) dentate gyrus, and (10) dorsolateral thalamus (LCBF, local cerebral blood flow; LCMRglc, local cerebral metabolic rate for glucose; β-APP, β-amyloid precursor protein).
