WATCH TIME: 4 minutes "Psychiatry is also a big component because a lot of time their mood is affected. TBI can run the whole gamut. A lot of times Im referring to my sleep medicine colleagues, as well as those in endocrinology because the hormones can be messed up after a traumatic brain injury in both men and women." Brain Injury Awareness Month, recognized each March, is a social campaign dedicated to bringing awareness to traumatic brain injury (TBI) prevention and improve overall quality of life for those living with TBIs.

A new study shows traumatic brain injuries affect the entire brain, not just the injury site, altering how brain regions communicate and adapt to tasks. This insight into brain plasticity opens new avenues for targeted treatment and rehabilitation, with further research planned to explore long-term changes and intervention strategies Continue reading →

Eddie Chi-Him Ma (Credit: City University of Hong Kong) A research team led by City University of Hong Kong (CityU; Kowloon, Hong Kong) neuroscientists recently discovered that low-dose ionising radiation (LDIR), such as X-ray irradiation, can reduce lesion size and reverse motor deficits associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and ischaemic stroke in mouse models. The researchers believe this demonstrates LDIR may be a promising therapeutic strategy for human TBI and stroke patients. Continue reading →

Its tricky to get to a By getting drugs beyond the blood-brain barrier, researchers believe they could better target treatment for Alzheimers disease, seizures, and plenty more. So, its safe to say its been a goal. Now, bioengineers finally believe theyre on the brink of breaching that barrier Continue reading →

A recent groundbreaking study conducted by researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center and Trinity College Dublin offers new hope in the understanding and potential treatment of memory loss caused by repeated head impacts. This research, supported by the Mouse Behavior Core in the Georgetown University Neuroscience Department and by grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), has significant implications for those suffering from cognitive impairments due to head injuries. The study suggests that memory loss caused by repeated head impacts may potentially be reversed. Continue reading →
