An Associated Press story about traumatic brain injury featuring James Stone, MD, PhD, was covered by hundreds of news outlets around the world, including ABC News, CBS News, The Independent and U.S. News & World Report.
Dr. Stone, a professor in the Department of Radiology and Medical Imaging, has studied repeated low-level blast exposure in military personnel, publishing his findings in the Journal of Neurotrauma. The study found that increased blast exposure was associated with increased brain inflammation, and reduced volume and thickness of brain structures. This could affect several key brain functions, including memory, motor skills and regulating emotions. More key points about the study may be found here.
