Traumatic brain injuries during development disrupt dopaminergic signaling.
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) sustained during peri-adolescent development produce lasting neuro-behavioral changes that render individuals at an increased risk for developing substance abuse disorders. Experimental and clinical evidence of a prolonged period of hypodopaminergia after TBI have been well documented, but the effect of juvenile TBI on dopaminergic dysfunction and its relationship...
متن کاملTraumatic Brain Injuries during Development: Implications for Alcohol Abuse
Traumatic brain injuries are strongly related to alcohol intoxication as by some estimates half or more of all brain injuries involve at least one intoxicated individual. Additionally, there is mounting evidence that traumatic brain injuries can themselves serve as independent risk factors for the development of alcohol use disorders, particularly when injury occurs during juvenile or adolescen...
متن کاملCommon DISC1 Polymorphisms Disrupt Wnt/GSK3β Signaling and Brain Development
Disrupted in Schizophrenia-1 (DISC1) is a candidate gene for psychiatric disorders and has many roles during brain development. Common DISC1 polymorphisms (variants) are associated with neuropsychiatric phenotypes including altered cognition, brain structure, and function; however, it is unknown how this occurs. Here, we demonstrate using mouse, zebrafish, and human model systems that DISC1 var...
متن کاملTraumatic alterations in GABA signaling disrupt hippocampal network activity in the developing brain.
Severe head trauma causes widespread neuronal shear injuries and acute seizures. Shearing of neural processes might contribute to seizures by disrupting the transmembrane ion gradients that subserve normal synaptic signaling. To test this possibility, we investigated changes in intracellular chloride concentration ([Cl(-)](i)) associated with the widespread neural shear injury induced during pr...
متن کاملSevere traumatic brain injuries in the elderly
Materials and methods The purpose of this study was to compare data obtained from a statewide data set for elderly patients (> 65 years) that presented with severe traumatic brain injury with data from nonelderly patients < 65 years) with similar injuries. MATERIAL-METHODS During the last 6 years(2003,2004,2005,2006,2007,2008) 200 (130 men-65%and 70 women-35%-) patients were examined. 110 of th...
