Restoration of Brain Function Following Trauma
Abstract
The Restoration of Brain Function Following Trauma program will exploit recent advances in the understanding and modeling of brain activity and organization to develop approaches to treat traumatic brain injury (TBI). Critical to success will be the ability to detect and quantify structural and molecular changes produced in the human brain from explosive blast and correlate those changes with neurocognitive evaluation. This program will also develop technologies for monitoring and controlling the cells responsible for immune and regenerative responses in the human body. The ultimate goal is identification of efficacious therapeutics or other therapies that can halt progression of injury and/or reduce the severity or duration of TBI. This program is a follow-on to a basic research effort funded under Human Assisted Neural Devices in Program Element 0601117E, Project MED-01.
