Figure 1. Experimental flow and a model of traumatic brain injury (TBI). (A) The schematic diagram depicted the intervention procedures and subsequent behavioral tests. (B) The construction of the TBI model was conducted in rats. Abbreviations: ICV: intracerebroventricular injection; TNS: trigeminal nerve electrical stimulation; LORR: loss of righting reflex; mNSS: modified neurological severity scale.
