Long-term issues for infants who experience severe oxygen deprivation, also known as hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), can vary depending on factors such as the severity of the insult, the extent of brain injury, the effectiveness of treatment, and individual differences in resilience and adaptive capacity. Here are some potential long-term outcomes for infants with severe oxygen …

Neuroplasticity refers to the brain’s ability to reorganize and adapt its structure and function in response to changes in the environment, learning, development, and injury. In the context of traumatic brain injury (TBI), neuroplasticity plays a crucial role in recovery and rehabilitation. Rehabilitation following TBI aims to harness neuroplasticity to promote functional recovery, maximize independence, …
Research on traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a multidisciplinary field that encompasses various aspects of neuroscience, neurology, rehabilitation medicine, and biomedical engineering. Here are some key areas of research in TBI: Pathophysiology: Understanding the mechanisms underlying TBI is crucial for developing effective treatments. Research focuses on the immediate and long-term effects of TBI on brain …
Neuromodulation refers to the alteration of nerve activity through targeted delivery of a stimulus, such as electrical stimulation or chemicals, to specific neurological sites in the body. This modulation can affect the function of neural circuits and subsequently impact various physiological processes, including pain perception, movement, mood, and cognitive function. Neuromodulation techniques can involve invasive …
The use of stem cells for the treatment of oxygen deprivation in infants is an area of ongoing research and holds promise, but it is still considered experimental and not yet a standard treatment. Stem cells are cells with the potential to develop into various types of specialized cells in the body. Preclinical studies and …
