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

“…Although adult hippocampal neurogenesis is regulated in a sex-dependent manner, the majority of pre-clinical TBI studies lack the inclusion of both sexes. The goal of this study was to examine sex differences in hippocampal neurogenesis in response to a moderate controlled cortical impact brain injury.MethodsIn-vivo labeling of NPCs and tracking of their morphological development into a granule cell was achieved using an inducible Cre recombinase driven by the Ascl1 promoter in a CAG-floxStopTom reporter mouse. …”
