Textbook in PDF format

This book focuses on two understudied groups that are most vulnerable to traumatic brain injuries; namely, the aged and the young. Traumatic brain injuries occur across all walks of life, and age at time of injury and the nature and severity of the injury are critical determinants of recovery. However, these variables contribute to the heterogeneity of the injury, which challenges the medical and surgical fields in providing optimal care across these diverse groups. These chapters address preclinical studies that offer the opportunity to control these variables, and, as such, serve as a critical pipeline for discovery and translation to the clinic. Importantly, catalysts for this translational research are inspired by findings in the clinical arena
