- Controlled Cortical Impact (CCI)
- 50–68% at 7 days (10 mcg/kg IP)
- Tight junction protein preservation within 6 hours
- Morris water maze latency improved 40–55% vs controls at 14 days
- Most commonly used. Allows precise injury severity control and reproducible anatomical outcomes
- Fluid Percussion Injury (FPI)
- 38–52% at 14 days (10 mcg/kg IP)
- BBB permeability reduced by 45% at 24h post-injury
- Rotarod performance 35% improvement at 7 days
- Mimics diffuse injury patterns but higher mortality rates limit sample sizes
- Weight-Drop Impact
- 28–41% at 7 days (5 mcg/kg IP)
- Evans blue extravasation reduced 32% at 48h
- Neurological severity score improved in 60% of treated subjects
- Less precise injury control but closer to closed-head human TBI mechanism
- Blast Injury Model
- 18–30% reduction in cortical damage markers
- Reduced inflammatory cytokine levels (IL-1β, TNF-α) at 72h
- Beam walk performance 22% improved vs sham at 14 days
- Relevant for military/blast TBI but mechanism differs from blunt force trauma
