Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of acquired epilepsy. TBI can result in a focal or diffuse brain injury. Focal injury is a result of direct mechanical forces, sometimes penetrating through the cranium, creating a direct lesion in the brain tissue and is visible during brain imaging as areas with contusion, laceration and hemorrhage. Focal lesions induce neuronal death and glial scar formation, and are present in 20–25% of all people who incurred a TBI. However, in the majority of TBI cases, injury is caused by acceleration-deceleration forces and subsequent tissue shearing, resulting in nonfocal, diffuse damage. A subpopulation of TBI patients continues to develop post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) after a latency period of months or years. Currently, it is impossible to predict which patients will develop PTE and seizures in PTE patients are challenging to control, necessitating further research. Until recently, the field was limited to only two animal/rodent models with validated spontaneous post-traumatic seizures, both presenting with large focal lesions with massive tissue loss in the cortex and sometimes subcortical structures. In contrast to these approaches, it was determined that diffuse TBI induced using a modified weight drop model is sufficient to initiate development of spontaneous convulsive and non-convulsive seizures, even in the absence of focal lesions or tissue loss. Similarly to human patients with acquired post-traumatic epilepsy, this model presents with a latency period after injury before seizure onset. In this protocol the community will be provided with a new model of post-traumatic epilepsy, detailing how to induce diffuse non-lesional TBI followed by continuous long-term video-electroencephalographic animal monitoring over the course of several months. This protocol will detail animal handling, weight-drop procedure, electrode placement for two acquisition systems and frequent challenges encountered during each of the steps of surgery, postoperative monitoring and data acquisition. This systematic protocol describes a new animal model of post-traumatic epilepsy after repetitive mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). The first part details steps for TBI induction using a modified weight-drop model. The second part provides instructions on the surgical approach for single- and multi-channel electroencephalographic (EEG) data acquisition systems.
