Abstract
We evaluated the response of microglia and Purkinje cells in the cereb ellum at 1, 2, 3, 7 and 10 days after a midline fluid percussion brain injury. There was marked activation of microglia and a significant lo ss of Purkinje cells in the vermis by 7 days postinjury. These finding s emphasize the vulnerability of the cerebellum to midline traumatic b rain injury.
