FIG. 8.

Hematoxylin and eosin staining of coronal sections at bregma ±0.3 24 h after (A) sham injury and (B) blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI). No abnormalities were observed in either section. Higher magnification images of the (C) sham and (D) bTBI sections of A and B, respectively, revealed intraventricular blood near the choroid plexus in both brains, but no histological abnormalities in or around the cortex and hippocampal regions of either section. Images A and B were taken at 8 × magnification; images C and D were taken at 20× magnification. Color image is available online at www.liebertpub.com/neu
