AB - The consequences of blast traumatic braininjury (blast-TBI) in humans are largely determinedby the characteristics of the traumainsult and, within certain limits, the individualresponses to the lesions inflicted (Maas et al.,Lancet Neurol. 2008;7:728–41). In blast-TBI,the mechanisms of brain vulnerability to thedetonation of an explosive device are not completelyunderstood. They most likely resultfrom a combination of the different physicalaspects of the blast phenomenon, specificallyextreme pressure oscillations (blast overpressurewave), projectile penetrating fragmentsand acceleration–deceleration forces, creatinga spectrum of brain injury that ranges frommild to severe blast-TBI(Hicks et al., JTrauma. 2010; 68:1257-63).The pathophysiologyof penetrating and inertially drivenblast-TBI has been extensively investigatedfor many years. However, the brain damagecaused by blast overpressure is much lessunderstood and is unique to this type of TBI(Chen et al., J Neurotrauma. 2009; 26:861–76). Indeed, there continues to be debate abouthow the pressure wave is transmitted andreflected through the brain and how it causescellular damage (Nakagawa et al., JNeurotrauma. 2011; 28:1101–19). No singlemodel can mimic the clinical and mechanicalcomplexity resulting from a real-lifeblast-TBI (Chen et al., J Neurotrauma. 2009;26:861–76). The different models, non-biological(in silico or surrogate physical) andbiological (ex vivo, in vitro or in vivo), tend tocomplement each other.
