Neurotrauma is a research area focused on studying injuries to the brain and spinal cord, often resulting from accidents such as falls, car accidents, or sports injuries. Researchers in this field work to better understand the mechanisms of injury, develop treatments to improve outcomes for patients, and explore ways to prevent traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries. This research typically involves neuroimaging, cellular and molecular studies, and clinical trials to assess the effectiveness of new therapies. Ultimately, the goal of neurotrauma research is to improve the quality of life for individuals who have experienced trauma to the central nervous system.
