The neurological and cognitive function of TBI rats was improved by CCR2 antagonist (RS504393) or p38 inhibitor (SB203580). (a) The mNSS score of TBI rats decreased after the application of high-dose CCR2 antagonists. (b) The mNSS score of TBI rats decreased after the application of high-dose p38 inhibitor. (c) The escape latency of TBI rats was reduced after the application of a high-dose CCR2 antagonist or p38 inhibitor. (d) The number of platform crossings of TBI rats increased after the application of high-dose CCR2 antagonist or p38 inhibitor. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 8/group). ***P < 0.001, *P < 0.05 vs. TBI + vehicle group. ###P < 0.001, ##P < 0.01, vs. sham group. TBI, traumatic brain injury; mNSS, modified neurological severity score.
