The mTBI weight-drop model for adult zebrafish. This novel model allows administration of a nonpenetrating, diffuse injury to the brain of an adult zebrafish. The fish are anesthetized in 0.02% tricaine-S (MS-222), placed on the foam cradle, and given a strike from a 0.33-g ball bearing, delivering a force of 0.0032 N and an impact energy of 35 mJ. The bottom of the guide tube is fixed ?1 cm above the zebrafish cranium, ensuring impact in a targeted location between the eyes of the fish. |
