Sex-based differences in the long-term fate of hippocampal neurons born after a traumatic brain injury by Hannah C. Downing, Hannah C. Downing, Ashley B. Glover, Jessica E. Gebhardt, Jessica E. Gebhardt, Katherine L. Thompson, Kathryn E. Saatman, Kathryn E. Saatman, Kathryn E. Saatman

“…IntroductionModerate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) results in an early loss of immature hippocampal granule cells and the activation of typically quiescent neural stem cells (NSCs) in the dentate gyrus. Activation of NSCs leads to a robust increase in proliferation and generation of neural progenitor cells (NPCs), supporting restoration of the immature neuron population of over a period of 1–2 weeks. …”
