You might expect researchers to better understand TBI given that the Department of Defense has diagnosed nearly 263,000 of them since 2001. But the brain is difficult to study. Current imaging can ...

A penetrating TBI, also called an open TBI, is when something goes through your skull and into brain tissue, like a bullet or a piece of bone. Usually, this type only hurts one part of your brain ...

A traumatic brain injury occurs when a ... 329,290 people aged under 19 years sought emergency treatment for a TBI resulting from a sporting or ... worsening the pressure on the brain tissue.

“Little is known about the long-term effects of traumatic brain injury on military service members,” Dr. Daniel Perl, a neuropathologist and director of the brain tissue repository, says.

To see what happens when cells are placed under strain, researchers either stretch them or expose them to shearing forces. But 2-D techniques can't evaluate compressive force, which is known to be ...

A new AI-enabled, optical fibre sensor device developed at Imperial College London can measure key biomarkers of traumatic brain injury simultaneously The 'promising' results from tests on animal ...

A new holographic microscope allows scientists to see through the skull and image the brain. The new label-free deep-tissue imaging with the wave correction algorithm retrieves the fine neural ...

Each year, about 2.5 million people suffer from traumatic brain injuries (TBI), which often increases their risk of developing Alzheimer's disease later in life.

A brain atlas is a 3-D map of the brain. Some brain atlases already exist, but this new suite of papers provides unprecedented resolution of the whole brain for humans and non-human primates.

Scientists have found a way to map the intricate patterns of cells in mouse brain tissue with an off-the-shelf light microscope, using a trick that inflates a tiny sample to 16 times its original ...

The researchers demonstrated the new microscope by using it to image calcium signals, which are indicators of neural activity, in living mouse brain tissue. The system captured these signals at a ...
