Fluoro Jade B staining for neurodegeneration.

Representative staining from sham (A, C, E) and TBI (B, D, F) animals, from the 7 day post-injury group. Sections from optic tract (A, B), LGN (C, D), and superior colliculus (E, F) are shown. Inset images are higher magnification photographs from the same region. There is a punctate staining pattern present in all three areas in animals with TBI, 7 days after injury, which is absent in TBI mice 1 day post-injury and in sham animals at either time point. The 50 μm scale bar applies to all low-magnification micrographs and the 20 μm bar applies to all inset micrographs.
