Figure 1. The effects of TBI on mortality and neurological function. (a) Schematic of the experimental paradigm for modeling TBI in mice. (b) The mortality rates were increased in the TBI group and decreased after CBL treatment,but there was no significant difference compared with the TBI group. (c) Neurological scores of mice in the shamgroup, TBI group, and TBI + CBL group at 72 h after TBI (n = 10, p < 0.05). Analysis of variance; mean ± SEM.

TBI: traumatic brain injury; CBL: cerebrospinal; SEM: standard error of mean.
