Advancing Brain Regeneration Therapies
Scientists worldwide are working to find ways to stimulate healing and functional recovery after severe brain injuries. This work is driven by the desperate needs of persons who have suffered brain damage.
Pioneering Pathways: Advancing Traumatic Brain Injury Repair
Towards Brain Regeneration and Functional Recovery
A significant brain injury can result in the loss of brain tissue, disruption of nervous system connections, destruction of brain regions controlling various functions, and chaotic electrical activity.
On February 26th, 2023, I glided over the freshly powdered slopes of Vermont as the flurries melted against my wind-burned cheeks. The twists and turns of the Rollercoaster Trail left me with an adrenaline high. Each jump I landed fed the thrill of the ride until I was suddenly consumed by darkness, and after the accident, my senior year turned into a nightmare.
