Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is a type of traumatic brain injury that happens when the head is struck, jolted, or shaken. The movement of the brain lags behind the movement of the skull, causing ...

With this said, the distinction between concussion and diffuse axonal injury should be mentioned. Both kinds of cases have been associated with injuries spanning the whole corpus callosum.

According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, a diffuse axonal injury (DAI) occurs when the brain's long nerve fibers (axons) are torn due to the brain shifting and rotating within the skull during an injury.

Mild hypothermia has been shown to exert apparent neuroprotective effects in animal models of diffuse axonal injury. However, the clinical efficacy of mild hypothermia is controversial. Thus, a ...

The use of diffusion tensor imaging (“DTI”) to assess mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) has been discussed in several prior posts. Also as ...

If there is fairly significant axonal loss (decreased nerve conduction amplitude), the EMG should eventually yield increased insertion activity and increased amplitudes of motor units surveyed.

Measures of a cleaved protein, SNTF, may signal axonal damage in patients with concussion, a new study suggests.

Jules Bianchi's family have released a statement through Marussia on the latest condition of the F1 driver.
