Diffuse axonal injury predicts neurodegeneration after moderate-severe traumatic brain injury.
Traumatic brain injury is associated with elevated rates of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and chronic traumatic encephalopathy. In experimental models, diffuse axonal injury triggers post-traumatic neurodegeneration, with axonal ...

Genetic Approach to Elucidate the Role of Cyclophilin D in Traumatic Brain Injury Pathology
Cyclophilin D (CypD) has been shown to play a critical role in mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening and the subsequent cell death cascade.

Mechanisms of Blood–Brain Barrier Dysfunction in Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) account for the majority of injury-related deaths in the United States with roughly two million TBIs occurring annually. Due to the spectrum of severity and heterogeneity in TBIs, investigation into the secondary injury is

Circulating endothelial cell-derived extracellular vesicles mediate the acute phase response and sickness behaviour associated with CNS inflammation. [PDF]
Brain injury elicits a systemic acute-phase response (APR), which is responsible for co-ordinating the peripheral immunological response to injury.

Evidence of the role of the cerebellum in cognitive theory of mind using voxel-based lesion mapping
Theory of Mind (ToM) is a social-cognitive skill that allows the understanding of the intentions, beliefs, and desires of others. There is a distinction between affective and cognitive ToM, with evidence showing that these processes rely on partially ...

Data-driven decomposition of brain dynamics with principal component analysis in different types of head impacts [PDF]
Strain and strain rate are effective traumatic brain injury predictors. Kinematics-based models estimating these metrics suffer from significant different distributions of both kinematics and the injury metrics across head impact types. To address this, previous studies focus on the kinematics but not the injury metrics.

Disconnection of network hubs and cognitive impairment after traumatic brain injury. [PDF]
Traumatic brain injury affects brain connectivity by producing traumatic axonal injury. This disrupts the function of large-scale networks that support cognition.
