Acute inflammatory profiles differ with sex and age after spinal cord injury
Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2021 Background Sex and age are emerging as influential variables that affect spinal cord injury (SCI) recovery. Despite a changing demographic towards older age at the time of SCI, the effects of sex or age on inflammation remain to be elucidated. This study

Thalamic inflammation after brain trauma is associated with thalamo-cortical white matter damage [PDF]
, 2015 Background Traumatic brain injury can trigger chronic neuroinflammation, which may predispose to neurodegeneration. Animal models and human pathological studies demonstrate persistent inflammation in the thalamus associated with axonal injury, but this ...

Sedation-Induced Burst Suppression Predicts Positive Outcome Following Traumatic Brain Injury
Frontiers in Neurology, 2021 While electroencephalogram (EEG) burst-suppression is often induced therapeutically using sedatives in the intensive care unit (ICU), there is hitherto no evidence with respect to its association to outcome in moderate-to-severe neurological patients. We

Establishing, versus Maintaining, Brain Function: A Neuro-computational Model of Cortical Reorganization after Injury to the Immature Brain [PDF]
Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society,
17:1030-1038, 2011, 2011 The effect of age at injury on outcome after acquired brain injury (ABI) has been the subject of much debate. Many argue that young brains are relatively tolerant of injury. A contrasting viewpoint due to Hebb argues that greater system integrity may be required for the initial establishment of a function than for preservation of an already-established

Prevention Strategies of Traumatic Brain Injury in Football Players [PDF]
, 2019 In this project, we study the effects of the impact angle during a helmet-to-helmet collision on stress distribution and deacceleration values of the brain tissue in efforts to reduce brain injuries for football players.
