Neuropsychological and Neuropsychiatric Deficits Following Traumatic Brain Injury: Common Patterns and Neuropathological Mechanisms
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in all degrees of injury severity mainly induces deviant cognitive, emotional and behavioral alterations that lead to their respective disorders. This brief overview strives to define the variables that determine the risk of occurrence of these disorders and to describe the common patterns of these disorders and their relevant neuropathogenetic mechanism(s). In addi...
متن کاملEnhanced catecholamine synthesis in the prefrontal cortex after traumatic brain injury: implications for prefrontal dysfunction.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI)--induced dysfunction of the prefrontal cortex causes many high-level cognitive deficits, including working memory (WM) dysfunction. WM lies at the core of many high-level functions, yet the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying its dysfunction are poorly understood. Lesion and pharmacological studies in rodents have implicated the medial prefrontal cortex (mP...
متن کاملWhite matter integrity of the medial forebrain bundle and attention and working memory deficits following traumatic brain injury
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The medial forebrain bundle (MFB) contains ascending catecholamine fibers that project to the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Damage to these fibers following traumatic brain injury (TBI) may alter extracellular catecholamine levels in the PFC and impede attention and working memory ability. This study investigated white matter microstructure of the medial MFB, specifically th...
متن کاملAltered Effective Connectivity of Hippocampus-Dependent Episodic Memory Network in mTBI Survivors
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are generally recognized to affect episodic memory. However, less is known regarding how external force altered the way functionally connected brain structures of the episodic memory system interact. To address this issue, we adopted an effective connectivity based analysis, namely, multivariate Granger causality approach, to explore causal interactions within th...
متن کاملEnvironmental enrichment protects against functional deficits caused by traumatic brain injury
Environmental enrichment (EE) increases cortical weight, neuronal density, dendritic branching, and angiogenesis, all of which may be critical for functional recovery following insult. Our study was designed to determine possible benefits of pre-exposure to EE in preventing functional deficits following traumatic brain injury (TBI) to the prefrontal cortex. To examine the benefit of EE, adult m...
