A closed-head, rotational traumatic brain injury model demonstrates deficits in righting reflex, neurological function, and auditory brainstem responses in rats

Key Points

• To assess the impact of a rotational traumatic brain injury model on neurological functions and auditory responses in rats.
• Utilized a closed-head rotational injury model in rats.
• Evaluated righting reflex and auditory brainstem responses.
• Analyzed neurological function post-injury.
• Observed significant deficits in righting reflex after injury.
• Noted impairments in auditory brainstem responses.
• Demonstrated relevance to aspects of human traumatic brain injury.
