Inducing Traumatic Injury in a Brain Slice Using a Shock Tube Device
Source: Campos-Pires, R., et al. A novel in vitro model of blast traumatic brain injury. J. Vis. Exp. (2018) In this video, a shock tube device is used to generate a shockwave by rupturing a polymer diaphragm through controlled pressurization. The shockwave impacts brain slices contained in a secured bag, inducing traumatic injury to the brain slice.
