Acquired traumatic brain injury (TBI) is frequently accompanied by persistent cognitive
symptoms, including executive function disruptions and memory deficits. The Morris Water …

Rats make excellent models for the study of medical, biological, genetic, and behavioral
phenomena given their adaptability, robustness, survivability, and intelligence. The rat's …

Blast exposure has been identified to be the most common cause for traumatic brain injury
(TBI) in soldiers. Over the years, rodent models to mimic blast exposures and the behavioral …

Here, we investigate remodeling of hippocampal cholinergic inputs after noise exposure and
determine the relevance of these changes to tinnitus. To assess the effects of noise …

The auditory system is particularly vulnerable to blast injury due to the ear's role as a highly
sensitive pressure transducer. Over the past several decades, studies have used a variety of …

Medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), amygdala, and striatum neurocircuitry has been shown to
play an important role in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) pathology in humans …

Blast exposure causes serious complications, the most common of which are ear-related
symptoms such as hearing loss and tinnitus. The blast shock waves can cause …

Exposure to blast overpressure or high-intensity sound can cause injuries to the auditory
system, which leads to hearing loss or tinnitus. In this study, we examined the involvement of …

Tinnitus is a subjective phantom sound perceived only by the affected person and a
symptom of various auditory and non-auditory conditions. The majority of methods used in …

A major challenge for those studying noise-induced injury pre-clinically is the selection of an
animal model. Noise injury models are particularly relevant in an age when people are …
