Time-dependent axonal impairment in experimental model of brain oedema.

OBJECTIVES: Clinically very serious condition of ischaemia and brain injury which are often associated with brain oedema is frequently accompanied by the impairment of the structural integrity of axons. We wondered whether the brain oedema (without ischemia brain injury) can induce structural axonal impairment.

METHODS:
