TBI Exosomal Activity in Military Personnel: Perivascular Space and Role of Indicators of Sleep Metrics TEAM-PRISM

Abstract

Objective: Determine if proteins in the blood are related to chronic neurological symptoms, poor sleep, and possibly neuroimaging differences after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Study Design: We will use already collected clinical data, polysomnograms (PSG) sleep studies, imaging data, neuropsychological tests, and blood samples from service members with at least one TBI (n=300) and without any TBI (n=50) from an ongoing study at the National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICoE) in SMs. We will use our developed methods to isolate brain-specific exosomes and examine their contents. We will also measure circulating blood concentrations of neuronal, brain barrier function, inflammation, and clearance-related proteins.
