DE CARO & KAPLEN, LLP. are pleased to offer an annual scholarship for a student who is a survivor of traumatic brain injury & is pursuing a college education.
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a recently revived term used to describe a neurodegenerative process that occurs as a long term complication of repetitive mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). Corsellis provided one of the classic descriptions of CTE in boxers under the name “dementia pugili...
We recently found that the neuroactive hormone IGF-I is associated to vulnerability to stress [5] and are now exploring underlying brain circuits to determine whether IGF-I is a neuroendocrine modulator of coping behaviors. Indeed, regulatory actions of IGF-I on mood are increasingly recognized, p...
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) represents one of the main causes of brain damage in young people and the elderly population with a very high rate of psycho-physical disability and death. TBI is characterized by extensive cell death, tissue damage and neuro

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disease associated with repetitive traumatic brain injury (TBI). CTE is generally found in athletes participating in contact sports and military personnel exposed to explosive blasts but can a
The possibility that traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurring in a cold environment exacerbates brain pathology and oxidative stress was examined in our rat model. TBI was inflicted by making a longitudinal incision into the right parietal cerebral cortex (2 mm deep and 4 mm long) in cold-acclimat...
PbtO2 monitoring occurred via invasive parenchymal monitoring (Licox probe; Integra, Licox Brain Oxygen Monitoring System, Plainboro, NJ), typically placed in the frontal lobe. All signals were recorded using digital data transfer or digitized via an A/D converter (DT9803; Data Translation, ...
