Modification of the cortical impact model to produce axonal injury in the rat cerebral cortex

Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is a form of brain injury that is characterized by morphologic changes to axons throughout the brain and brainstem. Previous biomechanical studies have shown that primary axonal dysfunction, ranging from minor electrophysiologic disturbances to immediate axotomy, can be r...
