Simplified traumatic brain injury (TBI) models have facilitated the development of therapeutic approaches. This protocol outlines the creation of a stab-wound mouse cortex using needles, enabling the analysis of hemorrhage and inflammation. The stab-wound TBI mouse model offers the advantage of being performed without requiring specialized equipment.
