From: Late chronic local inflammation, synaptic alterations, vascular remodeling and arteriovenous malformations in the brains of male rats exposed to repetitive low-level blast overpressures

Local inflammation is associated with hippocampal neuronal loss. a and b, images of an H&E-stained coronal section of a blast-exposed brain showing massive gliosis extending locally from CA3 through the alveus (box in a). Notice in b the gliosis concentrated in the stratum pyramidale of CA1 (arrows) and the neuronal loss in the ventral CA3 associated with the inflammation (area delimited by black arrowheads). Also visible in the sections are intravascular deposits of the BriteVu micro CT contrast agent, which are indicated by white arrowheads. Scale bar, 500 µm in a and 100 µm in b
