Study identifies brain injury as a cause of dementia in some older adults

Neuroscience NewsOctober 23, 2019

MRI neuroimaging can distinguish between memory loss caused by Alzheimer's disease and traumatic brain injury. Using new image analysis software, researchers discovered TBI causes the most amount of damage to the ventral diencephalon, a brain area associated with memory and learning, and the least amount of atrophy to the hippocampus, a brain region most impacted by Alzheimer's....

Rare sleep disorder common among veterans with PTSD

Neuroscience NewsOctober 11, 2019

21% of veterans who experience PTSD or traumatic brain injury suffer from a rare sleep condition that affects less than 1% of the general population. The condition, REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), is characterized by an impairment of sleep-related muscle paralysis, causing people to act out dreams during REM sleep. The uncontrolled actions often cause harm to the sufferer of their partners. ... Read More...

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...
