BACKGROUND
Xenon, the inert anesthetic gas, is neuroprotective in models of brain injury. The authors investigate the neuroprotective mechanisms of the inert gases such as xenon, argon, krypton, neon, and helium in an in vitro model of traumatic brain injury.
METHODS
The authors use an in vitro model using mouse organotypic hippocampal brain slices, subjected to a focal mechanical trauma, wit...
