The NIH recently announced eight research projects to study traumatic brain injury, funded largely by a donation from the NFL.
One Mind, Thomson Reuters Collaborate to Advance Knowledge of TBI
The non-profit One Mind recently announced a partnership with the Intellectual Property & Science business of Thomson Reuters to further the understanding of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and the central nervous system (CNS) [1]. The relationship will enable researchers to collaborate and share research results on a single web platform.
New Imaging Technique Offers Hope for Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury
Brain injuries are exceedingly complex, which makes treatment and rehabilitation difficult in many cases. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have reported using a new imaging technique called High-Definition Fiber Tracking (HDFT) to identify the disrupted neural pathways (paths made up of brain cells that communicate with one another) in patients with traumatic brain injury.
