Rats and humans with TBI have long-lasting cortical BBB dysfunction and neuroinflammation. Focal Gd-enhancement matched with loci of neuroinflammation, particularly in the thalamus. Although BBB leakage did not associate with increased seizure susceptibility after TBI, our data suggest that treatments aimed to mitigate BBB damage and its secondary pathologies like chronic neuroinflammation, have a region-specific long-lasting therapeutic time window.
