Researchers identified a unique biomarker associated with only the chronic or acute stage of traumatic brain injury.
In children, traumatic brain injury can lead to reduced brain size and cognitive impairments that affect learning, researchers report.
A new brain mapping study finds damage to one part of the brain changes connections between neurons across the entire brain.
Study reveals how neurons and glial cells contribute to drive neurodegeneration following brain injury.
White matter may be the key to understanding dementia, TBI, and numerous other neurological disorders.
A new mouse study identifies a targeted delivery method system that boosts the number of specialized anti-inflammatory immune cells within the brain to areas restricted by brain inflammation and damage. The system helped to protect against apoptosis associated with brain injury, stroke, and multiple sclerosis.
A preclinical drug that inhibits the kinase enzyme Cdk5 may have the potential to treat depression, brain injuries, and disorders associated with cognitive impairment.
Researchers report different types of brain injuries caused by concussions in children may lead to similar symptoms.
Signs of concussion may be found in the gut, a new study reports. Researchers found a correlation between traumatic brain injury proteins in the blood and one brain injury-linked bacteria in stool samples.
Surfing improves the quality of life and overall mental well-being of patients who suffered a traumatic brain injury.
College football players are 5 times more likely to report cognitive impairment, 2.5 times more likely to experience recurrent headaches, and 65% more likely to have cardiovascular problems in their lifetime than their non-football playing peers. Additionally, mortality from brain and other nervous system cancers was 4 times higher in former college football players than the general population.
Researchers explore how changes in concussion research have impacted sports and player safety.
