Article Synopsis
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can lead to long-term deficits in attention and memory, and deep brain stimulation (DBS) is being explored as a potential therapy for improving these cognitive impairments.* -
- The study tested whether early DBS after TBI in male rats can prevent memory decline and promote neuroprotection by evaluating behavioral tests and measuring brain cell health and neurotrophic factors.* -
- Results showed that while DBS improved performance in some maze tests and increased levels of BDNF and hippocampal cell counts, it did not significantly enhance memory in other tests or reduce inflammatory cytokine levels in the brain.*
Traumatic anterior cerebral artery (ACA) pseudoaneurysms are a challenge to manage. Difficult diagnosis, delayed presentation and catastrophic outcomes contribute to the overall prognosis of traumatic intracranial aneurysms. Clipping or coiling of the aneurysm and/or parent vessel occlusion are the treatment options.
