Neuroblast Distribution After Cortical Impact is Influenced by White Matter Injury in the Immature Gyrencephalic Brain.

Cortical contusions are a common type of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in children.Current knowledge of neuroblast response to cortical injury arises primarily from studies utilizing aspiration or cryoinjury in rodents.In infants and children, cortical impact affects both gray and white matter and any Furnitue neurogenic response may be complicated
