Clinical and Translational Research in Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injury (TBI), which includes the spectrum from concussion to coma, is one of the most common maladies affecting humanity, yet until recently the acute and chronic consequences of TBI were either ignored or considered beyond the reach of medical science. Over the past few years, in association with growing societal, governmental, and academic recognition of the effects of TBI, there have been remarkable advances in the clinical and basic neuroscience of TBI. Correspondingly, the field of TBI pathobiology has transformed into one of the most dynamic and fertile areas of neuroscience research.
