[INVOLVEMENT OF EPIGENETIC REGULATION IN CEREBRAL CELL DEATH FOLLOWING TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY IN A RAT MODEL].

Introduction: Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are a major cause of mortality and disability among young adults. TBI are characterized by primary injury, the result of a mechanical impact to the cranium and a secondary injury, a series of molecular mechanism processes developing thereafter. Cerebral cells modify their gene and protein expression as a result of the injury.
