Dr. Sergei Kirov is a neuroscientist and Director of the Human Brain Lab at the Medical College of Georgia. He has been working with living slices of human brain tissue for years to gain a better understanding of why brain cells die from stroke or trauma. Using a two photon laser scanning microscope
In the January 2013 issue of Frontiers of Human Neuroscience researchers from the United Kingdom published their findings that one year after suffering mild traumatic brain injury a group of 36 adult survivors showed cognitive impairment in their short term memory and information processing speed in comparison with a group of 36 aged-matched
Defense lawyers in mild TBI cases typically argue that any damage to the brain from mild TBI is quickly reversed and that MTBI symptoms should be gone within a few months if the victim is not faking or exaggerating. But is this defense claim true? Neuro-radiologist Pratik Mukherjee, M.D., PhD., of the prestigious
Patients suffering significant brain damage from stroke or TBI typically reach a plateau of recovery, beyond which no amount of therapy appears to help. Now there may be a therapy to jump start recovery in such patients years after they reached their plateau. Dr. Shai Efrati of Tel Aviv University’s Sackler Faculty of
Epidemiologists estimate that 1,000 people die every week from traumatic brain injuries in the United States. But if you suffer a severe brain injury in Arizona, the National Institutes of Health say you will likely receive the best emergency services treatment available in the country. The National Institutes of Health chose Arizona as
Until now it was thought the brain could only be damaged by trauma sufficient to cause a concussion – an event marked by loss of consciousness or by detectable alteration of consciousness (such as dazing, confusion or memory loss). A new study of 67 college football players shows that sub-concussive trauma (trauma below
Pate Rehabilitation has several facilities in Texas to help people with TBI recover lost functions. On March 4, 2013, physicians from Pate published a landmark article in the journal Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation which definitively shows that well-designed, well-executed rehabilitation services (such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, cognitive therapy, and speech therapy) produce
Medical investigators from the National Institutes of Health have concluded that when NFL linebacker Junior Seau committed suicide in May 2012 he was suffering from CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy). CTE is a degenerative brain disease accompanied by personality change, mood swings, and violence. CTE results from cumulative blows to the head and has
One of the most common consequences of TBI is chronic headache. Sometimes a TBI sufferer develops severe migraines that are partially or fully disabling. Curing such migraines has proved elusive despite the use of pain medications, anti-depressant medication, bio-feedback, neuro-feedback, and other approaches. Recently a chiropractic neurologist in Cranston, Rhode Island by the
Neurologist Kyle Womack, MD released a study at the 2013 American Academy of Neurology annual meeting showing that DTI (diffusion tensor imaging) analysis of white matter damage in a particular region of the brain could predict depression after traumatic brain injury with 100 percent sensitivity and 95 percent specificity. The study was conducted
