This NIH-funded research project investigates how repetitive mild traumatic brain injuries and physiological stress contribute to chronic neurovascular dysfunction, using a mouse model to study inflammation-driven disease progression.
Description
The project focuses on the effects of repetitive mild traumatic brain injuries and physiological stress on neurovascular health. The study involves a mouse model, sleep fragmentation, and treatment with MW151. The research aims to identify inflammation-driven neurovascular dysfunction as a mechanism for disease progression. The project is funded by the NIH and involves the University of Kentucky.
