MCG researcher says combat blasts caused injury to brain-cleansing system
"Most studies examine impact TBI, so much less is known about brain injuries following blast exposure and how it may differ from other types of TBI."
As part of the Neuroscience Center of Excellence Neurosurgery's mission is to deliver excellent patient care, provide superior education to the resident staff and the community as a whole, and engage in innovative research.

In the first study to use CBD in an animal model of glioblastoma, researchers find inhaled CBD shrinks the size of the highly aggressive, lethal brain tumor glioblastoma by reducing the essential support of its microenvironment.
Faculty from MCG will update attendees on a wide variety of topics, including stroke, movement disorders, brain tumors, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and epilepsy.
Scientists want to know more about how an inexpensive, low-risk treatment may improve recovery from the most deadly type of stroke. Called remote ischemic conditioning, or RIC, it involves successive bouts of compressing then relaxing an arm or leg with a blood pressure-like cuff, most typically for four cycles of five minutes of inflation followed by five minutes of deflation and enables better use of a natural pathway for brain repair.
