Researchers have developed a new system to record how brain tissue deforms when subjected to the kind of shock that causes blast-induced trauma commonly seen in combat veterans.
According to a new study, using MRI to assess patients soon after TBI can lead to more accurate detection of cerebral microbleeding.
Findings suggest a possible new diagnostic tool for early detection and treatment of blast related TBI.
Testing the sense of smell can be used to assess memory impairment following blast related TBI, a new study reports.
Treatment with dexamethasone after a primary blast injury promoted fast recovery in an in vitro model of the BBB.
Researchers electronically linked the brains of pairs of rats for the first time, enabling them to communicate directly to solve simple behavioral puzzles. A further test of this work successfully linked the brains of two animals thousands of miles apart - one in Durham, N.C., and one in Natal, Brazil.
