Recently, a group of scientists developed and tested a model involving traumatic brain injury in zebrafish, which could have positive implications for humans with similar injuries. The model made it possible to simulate traumatic brain injuries and identify molecular targets, which are promising for the treatment of neurotraumas and their consequences. This study could lead […]

With rare exceptions, almost all of the processes performed by our bodies are determined by our brains. The brain might be a single organ, but it is responsible for many important parts of daily life that we often take for granted. Given the valuable role our brain plays, head injuries almost always have devastating results. […]

Even though acquired brain injuries and traumatic brain injuries sound like they are similar, these two conditions are substantially different in regards to the physiology of the brain impacted and how they are treated. Both of these conditions can change a victim’s life forever. While traumatic brain injuries might sound similar to acquired brain injuries, […]
