Mechanisms of traumatic brain injury

Derek Bauer et al. Semin Neurol. 2015 Feb.

Abstract

The authors describe the mechanisms of traumatic brain injury (TBI), examining in depth the characteristics of closed head, penetrating, and blast-related TBI. Events on a structural as well as cellular level are reviewed. Blast-related brain injury, in particular, affects military service members preferentially, but is also relevant in cases of industrial accidents as well as terrorist events.
