FIG. 8.

Images of SMI-32 immunostained tissue showing that although no major brain injury is apparent after 50-psi (E) or 60-psi blasts (F) compared with 0-psi (A), 25-psi (C) or 30-psi blasts (D), brains with 50–60 psi blast are enlarged compared with brains with 0–40 psi blast. The two bands of cortical immunostaining represent labeled neurons and their processes in layers 3 and 5 and do not differ in their regional extent between 0–40 psi and 50–60 psi mice (B). Pinholes mark the right side of brain (i.e., the nonblast side) in images A, C, D, E, as indicated by asterisks. The pin passed through the ventricle at the level shown in F. Images A and C–F are at the same magnification. Color image is available online at www.liebertpub.com/neu
