Brain Trauma

Brain injury is complex in nature and extraordinarily challenging when attempting to describe the relationship between the event and the resulting injury. In an effort to reduce its severity and incidence a great deal of research investigating mechanisms of brain injury has involved the areas of anatomical, reconstructive, and finite elements modeling. The anatomical research primarily examines functional and mechanical failure thresholds for different types of brain tissue. Traumatic brain injury is a leading cause of death, hospitalization, and disability throughout the world. An average of 1.4million TBIs, including 50,000 deaths occur annually in the US alone from falls, road traffic accidents, sports injuries, and assaults.
