Reduced GABAergic Tonic Inhibition as a Shared Mechanism of Post-Traumatic SleepDisorders and Epilepsy
Abstract
TBI is the signature injury in Veterans from recent wars and over 1.5 million Americans sustain TBI each year. Whether from a mild, moderate, severe, or repetitive insult, TBI may lead to a series of complications including PTE, SWD, and MD such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression. Across the spectrum of TBI severity, PTE occur in up to40%, SWD 30-70% and MD in 35-40% of patients. In many patients, PTE and SWD occur simultaneously and chronically, further contributing to mood and cognitive disorders, and a negative impact on quality of life.
