Schematic depiction of the anatomic regions of interest in coronal brain tissue sections from injured mouse brains. Closed head injury was applied to the left hemisphere, as described in detail in the methods section. The right (contralateral) hemisphere served as internal negative control. The anatomic regions representing the tissue sections analyzed by TUNEL histochemistry in figure 4, include: (1) Contusion site in the left hemisphere; (2) Hippocampus; (3) Remote cortex in the ipsilateral hemisphere.
