Exploring microglial activation and neurodegeneration following traumatic brain injury
2016-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients may deteriorate months and years after injury, developing unforeseen consequences such as dementia. However, the mechanisms relating acute injury to later neurodegeneration are unclear. The positron emission tomography (PET) ligand [11C]-Pittsburgh compound B ([11C]PIB) detects Aβ plaques, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. I found [11C]PIB binding in long-term survivors of mo...
