New Injection Can Protect Neurons Following a Brain Injury
The New Jersey Institute of Technology recently published a research paper discussing an injection they are developing. This injection might preserve the health of neurons following a traumatic brain injury. The neurons are some of the most critical cells in the body. They carry signals between the brain and the arms, legs, chest, and torso. These neurons are also responsible for relaying pain, pressure, and temperature information from distant tissues to the brain. Unfortunately, a blow to the head can also seriously damage neurons. Researchers from the New Jersey Institute of Technology believe they might have found a way to protect neurons following an injury.
