Minimal traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is partially defined by the existence of retrograde amnesia and is associated with microscopic bleeds containing activated coagulation factors. In a previous study, we have found that mTBI immediately releases thrombin-like activity in the brain, which induces amnesia by activating protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR-1) and blocking long-term potentiation (LTP). In the present study, we assessed the effects of mTBI on thrombin and PAR-1 levels in the brain using the same model. After the immediate elevation, thrombin activity returned to baseline 1h post-trauma and increased again 72h later (42% relative to control; p
