Social deficits mirror delayed cerebrovascular dysfunction after traumatic brain injury.
Acta Neuropathol Commun

Article Synopsis
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) leads to long-term issues like social isolation and depression, with unknown impacts on brain function and behavior.
- In a study with adult mice, moderate cortical TBI resulted in significant reductions in social interactions over time, which were linked to decreased cerebral blood flow (CBF) and vascular density in brain areas crucial for social behavior.
- The research establishes a timeline showing how changes in brain perfusion and structure correlate with social behavior deficits, potentially guiding future treatments for TBI survivors.
Football exposes its players to traumatic brain, neck, and spinal injury. It is unknown whether the adolescent football player develops imaging abnormalities of the brain and spine that are detectable on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The objective of this observational study was to identify potential MRI signatures of early brain and cervical spine (c-spine) injury in high school football players.
