Traumatic brain injuryGlobal glial reactionMicrogliaAstrocytesTraumatic brain in jury affects a number of individuals per year and is a major cause of worldwide death and disability. Yet, its pathophysiological mechanism remains unclear. It is well-known that glial cells, including microglia and ...
A traumatic brain injury can also cause dementia. While memory loss has been seen in those who have suffered a concussion or other brain injury, repeated damage can lead to Alzheimer’s. Athletes participating in contact sports and people who have been in severe accidents are most at risk. Le...

Dementia is related to the cellular accumulation of β-amyloid plaques, tau aggregates, or α-synuclein aggregates, or to neurotransmitter deficiencies in the dopaminergic and cholinergic pathways. Cellular and neurochemical changes are both involved in
