Neurological outcome and tissue response of ageing rats in two models of acquired brain injury
Tatenda Mutshiya, Ping Yip, Adina T Michael-Titus · FENS Forum 2024
Acquired brain injuries (ABIs), such as stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI), represent global health challenges, stroke ranking as the third leading combined cause of death and disability, and TBI contributing to over 7 million disability-adjusted life years. Functional recovery in ABIs is influenced by age, older individuals showing poorer recovery. Axonal plasticity, a form of structural neuroplasticity, holds promise for understanding and promoting recovery. Injuries were carried out in 14-month-old male Wistar rats. Focal stroke was induced by unilateral intracerebral administration of
