"Following traumatic brain injury, mitochondria sustain structural and functional impairment, which contributes to secondary damage that can continue for days after the initial injury. The present study investigated mitochondrial bioenergetic changes in the rat neocortex at 1 and 3 h after mild, moderate, and severe injuries," scientists writing in the Journal of Neurotrauma report (see also Bioenergetics).
