concussion kinematics neuroinflammation olfaction preclinical traumatic brain injury Significance Statement Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) contribute to long-term sensory, motor, and cognitive dysfunction. We developed a novel approach for delivering repetitive mTBIs (rmTBIs) to mice via a custom weight-drop apparatus. The device precisely controls impact forces and enables quantification of linear and angular acceleration during each impact.

Home > Theses and Dissertations > 7441 Abstract Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is a key component in maintaining proper glymphatic flow. In recent years, the glymphatic system has been discovered and approached as a major factor in amyloid plaque clearance in Alzheimer's disease. This study examines the depolarization of AQP4 from the astrocytic endfeet and subsequent co-localization with amyloid plaques in the hippocampus and subiculum.
