(Visiting faculty) |
| Motor vehicle accidents, diving accidents, gunshot wounds, concussive injuries from
roadside bombs all can result in devastating trauma to the brain and spinal cord.
This 5-session theme will examine some of the acute and chronic clinical manifestations,
and discuss some of the underlying mechanisms. In this first session, John Povlishock
from the Medical College of Virginia (Richmond, VA), an expert on traumatic brain injury,
will provide an overview of the types of brain injury and how proposed mechanisms can be examined. |
