Sleep-Wake Disturbances After Traumatic Brain Injury: Synthesis of Human and Animal Studies.

TL;DR: Given the number of symptoms associated with TBI that are intimately related to, or directly stem from sleep dysfunction, sleep-wake disorders represent an important area in which mechanistic-based therapies may substantially impact recovery after TBI.

Current understanding of neuroinflammation after traumatic brain injury and cell-based therapeutic opportunities.

TL;DR: Emerging preclinical studies indicate that posttraumatic prolonged and progressive neuroinflammation is associated with neurodegeneration which may be treatable long after the initiating brain injury.

Prognostic Indicators of Persistent Post-Concussive Symptoms after Deployment-Related Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A Prospective Longitudinal Study in U.S. Army Soldiers

TL;DR: It is found that sustaining mTBI increases risk for persistent PCS, and previous TBI(s), pre-deployment psychological distress, severe deployment stress, and loss of consciousness or lapse of memory resulting from mT BI are prognostic indicators of persistence of post-concussive symptoms after an index m TBI.

Trajectory of Parvalbumin Cell Impairment and Loss of Cortical Inhibition in Traumatic Brain Injury.

TL;DR: The use of paired‐pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation as a biomarker to track the course of cortical inhibitory dysfunction post‐TBI is highlighted and the neuroprotective role of PNNs on PV+ cell function suggests antioxidant treatment or Otx2 enhancement as a promising prophylaxis for post-TBI symptoms.
