Cell Type-Specific Vulnerability to Traumatic Brain Injury

Explore the impact of traumatic brain injury (TBI) on specific cell types in this 27-minute webinar presented by Dr. Araks Martirosyan, a senior postdoctoral researcher at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain and Disease Research. Delve into the global health concern of TBI, affecting 69 million people annually, and its long-term cognitive effects linked to hippocampal damage. Discover how TBI influences neural stem and progenitor cells in the hippocampus, potentially impeding brain recovery. Learn about Dr. Martirosyan's background in physics and computational biology, and how it applies to this critical area of neuroscience research. Gain insights into the latest findings on cell type-specific vulnerability in TBI and its implications for understanding and treating this prevalent condition.
