Special Issue on Brain Injury: Pathophysiology and Treatment

A brain injury is an injury to the brain of a living organism, and can be categorized by many properties. Brain injuries have far-reaching and varied consequences due to the nature of the brain as the main source of bodily control. Brain-injured people commonly experience issues with memory. Brain injury can also affect muscle control and coordination ranging from difficulty writing to being unable to perform basic bodily functions such as swallowing or coughing. Behavioral and personality changes are also commonly observed due to changes of the brain structure in areas controlling hormones or major emotions. Headaches and pain can also occur as a result of a brain injury either directly from the damage or due to neurological conditions stemming from the injury.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on Brain Injury: Pathophysiology and Treatment. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Mechanisms of TBI
