Peptide hydrogels could help heal traumatic brain injuries

Neuroscience NewsAugust 30, 2019

A newly developed peptide hydrogel could help repair some of the damage caused by a traumatic brain injury. In rat models, the hydrogel improved the survival of brain cells, resulting in twice as many neurons at the injury site than in the control rats with TBI. Researchers reported new blood vessels also grew. ... Read More...

Hidden Consciousness Detectable with EEG Just Days after Brain Injury

Neuroscience NewsJune 27, 2019

Researchers detected brain waves indicative of 'hidden' consciousness in 15% of patients with TBI four days after the injury occurred. Among those patients, 50% improved and were able to follow verbal commands before being discharged from hospital compared to just 26% who did not show signs of hidden consciousness. ... Read More...
