Treatment:

Treatment ID:TR000972
Treatment Summary:Unilateral contusions of the lateral frontoparietal cortex were created using a controlled cortical impact (CCI) device (Pittsburgh Precision Instruments, Pittsburgh, PA) following published procedures. Rats were anesthetized (induction, 5% isoflurane; maintenance 2-3% isoflurane), mounted in a stereotaxic frame and a 6 mm craniectomy was made over the left frontoparietal cortex (center: -3.0 mm AP, +2.0 mm ML from bregma). A pneumatic piston (tip diameter=5 mm; positioned 15 degrees from vertical in the coronal plane) impacted the cortical tissue to a depth of 2 mm (velocity=4 m/s, duration=200 ms), values consistent with a moderate TBI insult
