Cortical Excitability after Mild Traumatic Brain Injury in Children
Introduction: Mild traumatic brain injury is frequently complicated by post-concussive syndrome. It is unknown why these symptoms persist, but recent research suggests that cortical excitability may play a role. Objectives: To determine if cortical excitability is different in pediatric mTBI, and …

Specialist Healthcare Services for Concussion/Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Mild traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) affect over a million people in England and Wales annually. While most individuals recover spontaneously within days to weeks, a significant proportion experience persistent symptoms that last months to years after injury. These symptoms are complex and …

Experimental and Finite Element Evaluation of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major health concern, with mild TBI (mTBI) being the most common type and frequently linked to long-term neurological issues. Studying mTBI is essential to improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment strategies for affected individuals.This dissertation explores …

Cerebral Metabolic and Neuropsychological Outcomes Following Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) in adolescents and adults can result in cognitive, emotional, behavioral and neurological deficits that can persist more than a year after an injury. The current preliminary study used 3D magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) and comprehensive …

Neuropsychological, Psychosocial, and Mood Outcomes Following Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) in adolescents and adults can result in cognitive, emotional, behavioral and neurological deficits that can persist more than a year after an injury. The aim of the current preliminary study was to use a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment to determine the …

Characterising In Vivo Brain Function Following Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the most complex disease in the most complex organ and a public health emergency. Sometimes called a silent epidemic, there are at least 50 million TBIs each year globally. This incidence translates to half the world’s population having at least one TBI in their …

Converging Pathways: Neuroimmunology of Tauopathy and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
… as risk factors. For example, repetitive brain injury strongly correlates with the neurodegenerative disease Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. Because rising evidence has linked innate and adaptive immunity to neurodegenerative diseases, in this thesis, I set out to map the immune …

Longitudinal Locomotor and Postural Control Following Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Millions of people sustain a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion) each year. While most clinical signs and symptoms resolve within 7-10 days for the majority of typical concussions, some gait and balance tasks have shown abnormalities lasting beyond the resolution of clinical symptoms. These …

Cognitive, Psychiatric, And Neuropathological Manifestations Of Repetitive Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
… with previous ones so that their effects on the brain become magnified. Repetitive mild traumatic brain injury (rmTBI) has been linked to the development of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). The neurodegeneration accompanying CTE occurs over many years following repeated head impacts and is …

FEAR EXTINCTION AND INFRALIMBIC CORTEX IMPAIRMENT AFTER MILD TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of morbidity and disability, with mild TBI (concussions) representing over 80% of cases. Although often considered benign, mild TBI is associated with persistent neuropsychiatric conditions, including posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and …

An investigation into mild traumatic brain injury identification, management, and mitigation
Concussion is classified as a mild traumatic brain injury which can be induced by biomechanical forces such as a physical impact to the head or body, which results in a transient neurological disturbance without obvious structural brain damage. Immediate access to tools that can identify, diagnosis …

In Vitro Remodeling of Extracellular Matrix Following Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Every year millions of individuals suffer from traumatic brain injury (TBI) leading to permanent disabilities and even death. Mild TBI (mTBI) is the most common form of TBI comprising about 80-90% of all occurrences. Following a CNS insult like an mTBI, astrocytes can undergo activation resulting …

Swine applied ethology methods for a model of mild traumatic brain injury
… and chronic stressors lead to health problems. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is defined as malfunctioning and pathology of the brain caused by external mechanical forces. This physical and psychological stressor may lead to long-term damage on both physiology and psychology mechanisms. Traumatic …

Propranolol Elicits Long Term Systemic Effects After Repetitive Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
There are almost 2 million new traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) every year in the US. Of these, 80% of these can be classified as mild TBI, also known as concussions, that can lead to pronounced long term symptoms months and years after injury. The presence of post traumatic headaches (PTH) is the …

Mild traumatic brain injury in New Zealand: Post-concussion symptoms and recovery
… What impact does the amount of time between injury and assessment date, along with the post-concussion symptoms reported at assessment, have on the length of stay in a concussion service? ABSTRACT Traumatic brain injury is predicted to become the third largest cause of disease burden globally …

Neuroinflammation in Alzheimer’s Disease Mouse Brain Following Repetitive Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
<p>Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are a common form of head injury, with mild TBIs (mTBIs) making up 75-90% of the TBI severity scale. It’s been suggested that repetitive mild TBIs (rmTBIs) may enhance effects of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). With dementia linking TBI and AD together, we investigated …

Persistent Effects of Paediatric Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: The Role of Resilience
… This study examined the relationship of multiple mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) and psychological resilience to persistent post-concussion symptoms (PCS). Methods. Participants (N = 65), ages 8-18 years, who sustained multiple mTBIs (n = 24), a single mTBI (n = 22), or an orthopaedic injury …
