A new study describes a technology that could lead to new therapeutics for traumatic brain injuries. The discovery provides a means of homing drugs or nanoparticles to injured areas of the brain. "We have found a peptide sequence of four amino acids, cysteine,...

After a traumatic brain injury (TBI), people also experience major sleep problems, including changes in their sleep-wake cycle. A new study shows that recovering from these two conditions occurs in parallel. The study is published in the December 21, 2016, online...

A fall down the stairs, a car crash, a sports injury or an explosive blast can all cause traumatic brain injury (TBI). Patients often recover. But in the days or weeks following the hit, they can develop other serious, chronic conditions, such as depression and...

Johns Hopkins researchers say they have identified a new way that cells in the brain alert the rest of the body to recruit immune cells when the brain is injured. The work was completed in mouse models that mimic infection, stroke or trauma in humans. Investigators...

Brain injury is common in contact sports and recreational activities, but a standard imaging technique to diagnose concussion has still not been established. A proof of concept explores using quantitative EEG to quickly and accurately diagnose concussions on the...

Currently, there are few ways for doctors to accurately detect concussions in children. A recent study published from Northwestern University found that sound could be used to diagnose concussions with accuracy, which would be helpful for children who love sports and...

Currently, the widely accepted and established treatment for concussions is rest. A recent study done at the Xuan Wu hospital in Beijing found that decreasing caloric intake reduces some of the negative effects post-concussion, while excess caloric intake is a risk...

Concussions are currently elusive on standard imaging methods and currently lack a standard marker. A study done at the University of Birmingham found microRNA, an important component for the synthesis of proteins, as a potential attribute to diagnose concussions....

Difficulty with memory function is one of the most common symptoms for people with a brain injury. A recent study about memory rehabilitation found that simple smartphone tasks could be beneficial for people following their brain injury, helping to reduce its negative...
