Reversal of neuromotor and cognitive dysfunction in an enriched environment combined with multimodal early onset stimulation after traumatic brain injury in rats.

abstract：:Reactive oxygen species have been implicated in the pathogenesis of hypoxic-ischemic injury. It has been shown previously that treating an animal with N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), a scavenger of free radicals, significantly minimizes hypoxic-ischemic-induced brain injury in various acute models. Using a subacute swine m...
