This week\u2019s issue of the New England Journal of Medicine features an article that highlights an unprecedented analysis of the nation\u2019s childhood head injuries. The study, authored by physicians at UC Davis School of Medicine and Washington University School of Medicine, analyzed more than 43,000 children who were evaluated for head trauma at 25 emergency departments around the United States.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

A new cell type is implicated in epilepsy caused by traumatic brain injury <\/a><\/h2>\n

A new study in mice identifies increased levels of a specific neurotransmitter as a contributing factor connecting traumatic brain injury (TBI) to post-traumatic epilepsy. The findings suggest that damage to brain cells called interneurons disrupts neurotransmitter levels and plays a role in the development of epilepsy after a traumatic brain injury.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

Quality of white matter in the brain is crucial for adding and multiplying<\/a><\/h2>\n

\n
While the correlation between arithmetic and white matter tracts linking certain brain regions is known, very little research has been done to test this correlation in normally-developing children. Nor has previous research teased out differences in neuroactivity when carrying out different arithmetic operations, e.g., adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

MU Surgeons Find New Method to Reduce Risk of Blood Clots During Brain Traumas <\/a><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
\n
Researchers from the University of Missouri School of Medicine have found that a new protocol that uses preventive blood-thinning medication in the treatment of patients with traumatic brain injuries reduces the risk of patients developing life-threatening blood clots without increasing the risk of bleeding inside the brain.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

After brain injury, new astrocytes play unexpected role in healing<\/a><\/h2>\n
\n Tuesday, April 23, 2013<\/span>  \u00b7  Posted by Duke University Medical Center<\/a> <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
\n
The production of a certain kind of brain cell that had been considered an impediment to healing may actually be needed to staunch bleeding and promote repair after a stroke or head trauma, researchers at Duke Medicine report.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
