Abstract:
:Following a mild cortical impact injury delivered by a piston to the right sensorimotor cortex of the anesthetized rat, we evaluated mantle loss, neuronal changes, and fiber track degeneration by deOlmos silver stains up to 8 weeks after injury. Darkened neurons indicating damage (chromatolysis) occurred widely throughout both hemispheres and were seen from 1 h to 8 weeks after injury. This effect might have occurred from pressure wave damage from piston impact, brain displacement or deafferentation. Cerebral mantle loss was variable but fiber track degeneration related to projection and corticofugal descending tracks associated with the right sensorimotor system was rather constant. Unexpectedly, considerable fiber track degeneration occurred within the cerebellum, especially the inferior vermis. Cells directly under the piston face were surprisingly well-preserved but axon degeneration studies showed that these apparently intact neuronal cell bodies were surrounded by a dense network of degenerating fiber tracks. The intact cells, therefore, may have been functionally cut off from the rest of the brain owing to interruption of their efferents and afferents. The increased susceptibility of axons compared to cell bodies seen with this focal injury is similar to that observed with diffuse brain injury. The early appearing, severe and widespread axon damage we observed suggests that amelioration of focal traumatic brain injury will have to be directed promptly to the preservation of axons as well as cell bodies.
