Neurological Assessment and Protection from Brain Injury*
Abstract
* Formerly Neuroprotection from Brain Injury Building upon technologies discovered under the Restoring Cognitive Capability program (budgeted in PE 0602715E, Project MBT-02), the Neurological Assessment and Protection from Brain Injury program will transform our current detection and protection strategies against traumatic brain injury (TBI), such as injury from blast exposure. This program will develop multi-sensory fieldable TBI assessment tools and prophylactic countermeasures to prevent severe brain injury. Current available tools in far forward operating environments for these injuries are lacking especially those that effectively discriminate between mild- and medium-level trauma. These novel technologies will change the paradigm for treatment of TBI by preventing injury rather than attempting to reverse or repair it.
