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...
