Monitoring recovery after injury: procedures for deriving the optimal test window.

abstract：:Moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) in humans and rats induces measurable metabolic changes, including a sustained depression in cerebral glucose uptake. However, the effect of a mild TBI on brain glucose uptake is unclear, particularly in rodent models. This study aimed to determine the glucose uptake pat...

abstract：:Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI) induces microglial activation, which can contribute to secondary tissue loss. Activation of mGluR5 reduces microglial activation and inhibits microglial-mediated neurodegeneration in vitro, and is neuroprotective in experimental models of CNS injury. In vitro studies also suggest ...
