Your Brain On... Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic Brain Injury is a major cause of death, disability, and cognitive decline. Thankfully, evolving research is helping us protect our heads and lessen the long-term impacts of TBIs.

In this episode of 'Your Brain On...' we discuss:

• The effects and symptoms of TBI, from mild concussions to more severe head injuries

• What actually happens to your brain when you sustain a TBI

• The links between TBI and neurodegenerative diseases and cognitive impairment

• The prevalence of TBI in military personnel and sportspeople, and how we're improving protective technologies

• Steps to take after experiencing concussions or head traumas

• How brain-healthy preventative lifestyle habits can lessen the long-term impacts of TBI

Our guest for this episode is Dr. David Brody, MD, PhD, Chief Science Officer/Chief Innovation Officer, Center for Neuroscience and Regenerative Medicine, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, MD.

Dr. Brody is a pre-eminent researcher of traumatic brain injuries, particularly in military personnel who experience TBIs during combat.

This is... Your Brain On TBI.

'Your Brain On' is hosted by neurologists, scientists, and public health advocates Drs. Ayesha and Dean Sherzai.

'Your Brain On...' is supported by the NEURO World Retreat, taking place in San Diego, September 2–5 2025: https://neuroworldretreat.com/
