AB  - Millions of Americans suffer traumatic brain injury (TBI) each year (Taylor et al. 2017). The vast majority (~90%) of TBI events in the U.S. are mild TBIs, which includes concussions (Cassidy et al. 2004). Mild TBI commonly causes temporary symptoms, but repetitive mild TBI (rmTBI) is associated with long-term consequences, which may take years to manifest (Bailes et al. 2013). Current animal models of rmTBI have drawbacks which contribute to the scarcity of evidence for mechanistic bases of dysfunction and disease.
