Researchers note a considerable rise in the number of fall-induced traumatic brain injuries in elderly patients since the 1970's. Future studies are required to better understand the reasons for the increased numbers and provide effective interventions to prevent injury.
New research suggests military personnel who suffer more than one mild TBI face a significantly higher risk of suicide.
Researchers discover traumatic brain injuries generate tau oligomers, a protein associated with Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases. The discovery could provide insight into lasting brain damage caused by TBI.
Researchers discover soccer players who frequently 'head' the ball have white matter abnormalities consistent with concussion and mild traumatic brain injury.
A new study has discovered the distribution of white matter abnormalities found in some patients with mTBI closely resemble those seen in early Alzheimer's disease.
According to a new study, 1 in 5 adolescents have suffered a TBI which left them unconscious for more than five minutes or required hospitalization.
Researchers have developed a new way in which to measure the cumulative effect of head injuries incurred by football players.
Looking at fMRI scans taken within 24 hours and again weeks after concussion, researchers suggest the brain may compensate for TBI during a patient's recovery time.
Neurofeedback which enhances the signal-to-noise ratio of brain activity, could have positive implication for rehabilitation following brain injury.
For those with moderate-to-severe TBI, atrophy may be countered by participating in environmental enrichment, a new study suggests.
Soldiers who suffered TBI as a result of an IED blast are more likely to have pituitary hormone problems than patients with TBI caused by accidents, a new study suggests.
Congressman Fattah introduces a new resolution in the U.S House of Representatives which supports the goals of World Alzheimer's Month.
