We are intending to study the effect of TBI on BF neurons. I did some literature search and found both FPI and CCI model have been used for this purpose. Between these two models, which one will be more appropriate to study the BF?
Both models are adequate to study TBI as are both well described in rats and other animals. I think I would choose the CCI model for this purpose (BF) because it can produce a more localized injury. Please take a time to read this paper, it may be of value to you:
