CURRENT METHODS FOR EXPERIMENTAL MODELING OF TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY IN MICE AND RATS

Abstract

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains one of the leading causes of mortality and long-term disability among young individuals worldwide. Despite significant advances in clinical medicine, the mechanisms underlying post-traumatic morphological and functional alterations in the brain and peripheral organs remain insufficiently understood.
