Histological comparison of repeated mild weight drop and lateral fluid percussion injury models of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in female and male rats.

This paper compares two TBI models in rats, finding that lateral fluid percussion causes more severe and lasting disruptions than repeat mild weight drop.

JZL184 increases anxiety-like behavior and does not reduce alcohol consumption in female rats after repeated mild traumatic brain injury.

This study shows that repeated mild traumatic brain injury increases alcohol consumption in female rats but not males, and JZL184 does not reduce alcohol consumption or alleviate anxiety-like behavior in either sex.
