High Thoracic Contusion Model for the Investigation of Cardiovascular Function after Spinal Cord Injury.

abstract：:Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with the development of numerous psychiatric diseases. Of particular concern for TBI patients is the impact of chronic impulsivity on daily functioning. Despite the scope of the human problem, little has been done to address impulsivity in animal models of brain injury. In th...
