Brain pathology associated with experimental mTBI

Animal ID Blast condition Time harvested Lesions observed
B2
1 x 74.5
24 h
Tear causing repositioning of part of the caudate-putamen into the insula.
B3
1 x 74.5
24 h
Blood in dorsal 3rd and lateral ventricles as well as choroid plexus.
B4
1 x 74.5
24 h
Blood in dorsal 3rd and lateral ventricles.
B1
3 x 74.5
24 h
Blood in dorsal 3rd ventricle.
B5
3 x 74.5
24 h
Blood in aqueduct, dorsal 3rd and lateral ventricles; vascular disruption affecting external capsule and CA1 field; blood in the adjacent parenchymal tissue.
542
3 x 74.5
6 months
Tear spanning the perirhinal cortex, external capsule, hippocampal CA1 region and dentate gyrus resulting in tissue architectural abnormalities.
2
3 x 74.5
6 months
Lesion in the secondary auditory cortex expanding to the perirhinal region.
1
3 x 74.5
9 months
Tear at the surface of the secondary somatosensory cortex extending into the insular cortex; lesion involves repositioning of cortical layers; disruption of piriform cortex by the insertion of olfactory tubercle/lateral olfactory tract tissue.
590
3 x 74.5
10 months
Disruption of layers I, II and III in primary visual cortex; presence of ectopic neurons in layer I; lesion of hippocampal CA1.
591
3 x 74.5
10 months
Tear and repositioning of layers I, II and III in primary somatosensory cortex; ectopic neurons in layer I; disruption of parietal and somatosensory cortex and ventral/intermediate entorhinal cortex by the insertion of ectopic tissue.
595
3 x 74.5
10 months
Lesion in motor cortex altering the cortical architecture.
597 3 x 74.5 10 months Displacement of amygdalohippocampal and posteromedial cortical amygdaloid nucleus tissue disrupting the ventral hippocampal CA1 field.
