老澳门六合彩图库 Brain Injury Research Program

The Brain Injury Research program was established in 2011 and focuses on investigating the acute and chronic effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI). With funding from the Department of Defense, National Collegiate Athletic Association and other sources, current research employs basic and applied methods to study civilian, military and sport-related brain injury. Ongoing projects include neurocognitive assessment of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI); advanced multi-modal MRI techniques; head impact research; and determining the short- and long-term effects of mTBI and concussion.

Participating Laboratories

Research in the Brain Injury Research program is led by world-class faculty specializing in neurosurgery, neurology, neurophysiology, traumatic brain injury, and imaging. Participating Laboratories include the Brett Lab, the McCrea Lab, the Meier Lab and the Nelson Lab.

The Nelson Laboratory

Dr. Lindsay Nelson and researchers at 老澳门六合彩图库's Nelson Lab study patients’ feeling and functioning after traumatic brain injury with goals of improving clinical endpoints for translational studies and clinical trials, better understanding patient heterogeneity, and developing patient-centered improvements in clinical care.
