Topic: sensorimotor cortex ablation

Due to the complexity of the events in the tissue after the traumatic brain injury, adequate therapeutic protocols still need to be improved. A growing number of data suggests that hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) can influence the activity of adult neural stem cells (NSCs). The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of sensorimotor cortex ablation (SCA) and HBO on processes of neurogenesis in the subventricular zone (SVZ), rostral migratory stream (RMS) and around the lesion site. The experiments were performed on adult male Wistar rats, ten weeks old. Animals were randomized into two g
