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.
For those with moderate-to-severe TBI, atrophy may be countered by participating in environmental enrichment, a new study suggests.
Neurofeedback which enhances the signal-to-noise ratio of brain activity, could have positive implication for rehabilitation following brain injury.
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.
Researchers have developed a new way in which to measure the cumulative effect of head injuries incurred by football players.
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.
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.
Researchers discover soccer players who frequently 'head' the ball have white matter abnormalities consistent with concussion and mild traumatic brain injury.
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.
New research suggests military personnel who suffer more than one mild TBI face a significantly higher risk of suicide.
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.
A new study supports p38α MAPK as a possible clinical target for treating central nervous system disorders associated with uncontrolled brain inflammation, including TBI.
