Researchers are exploring how Traumatic Brain Injury (#TBI) may impact other systems and parts of the body besides the brain. Via Psychology Today #MoreThanMyBrainInjury #BIAmonth

5.3 million Americans live with a long-term disability due to Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI); #TBI can also increase risk of suicidality. Learn more about the roadmapping efforts from the 2019 State of the Science Summit, where global leaders in TBI discussed new paths to treatment. #brainhealth #MoreThanMyBrainInjury #BIAmonth

What is Traumatic Brain Injury (#TBI)? #brainhealth #MoreThanMyBrainInjury #BIAmonth

Our State of The Science Summit convened global thought leaders in Traumatic Brain Injury (#TBI) to drive #research forward. By joining forces, we can identify gaps in research and accelerate solutions for those suffering from trauma-related brain disorders. Watch highlights from this event. #teamscience #brainhealth #MoreThanMyBrainInjury #BrainInjuryAwarenessMonth #BIAmonth

Our brain trauma roadmapping efforts in both #PTSD and #TBI have demonstrated that meaningful investment in brain health is needed to advance diagnostics and treatments. We support the Brain Injury Association of America on #BrainInjuryAwarenessDay, and the need for targeted federal investment in brain trauma-related #research. #MoreThanMyBrainInjury #BrainInjuryAwarenessMonth #BIAmonth

We're creating a first of its kind normative imaging library to help doctors identify what the brain looks like under normal and pathological conditions. These advances will help doctors develop new and more objective ways to diagnose disorders such as Traumatic Brain Injury (#TBI). We discussed the importance of the normative imaging library with lead investigator Dr. James Stone of the School of Medicine at the University of Virginia. #BIAmonth #MoreThanMyBrainInjury #BrainHealth

Using a #teamscience approach in collaboration with Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, our landmark #genetics study of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) identified 6 genetic markers of #PTSDrisk. #genomics https://bit.ly/384Oj3j

We discussed priorities for #Veterans #brainhealth and #advocacy efforts with Veterans Advisory Council (VAC) member Bob Harward, VADM (SEAL), U.S. Navy (Ret.), Former Deputy Commander, Central Command. https://bit.ly/3eUGxNo

From all of us at Cohen Veterans Bioscience, we wish you a happy and healthy holiday season!

The members of our Veterans Advisory Council advocate for evidence-driven approaches to discover new solutions for the invisible wounds of war, including driving efforts to improve #research and awareness for #braintrauma as a risk factor for suicidality. #Veterans #suicideprevention

Sleep disruptions, often a consequence of brain disorders such as #PTSD and #TBI, involve a number of burdensome symptoms including nightmares, fatigue, and lost productivity. To recommend the best methods to improve sleep for an individual, researchers must accurately measure #sleep. Our SleepWell program uses #biosensors to improve sleep health. https://bit.ly/3cRicGE

Holiday #MentalHealth Tip: Healthy sleep is an important aspect of managing #stress. #Sleep is essential to maintaining #brainhealth; research suggests that the neural activity that occurs during sleep removes toxins from the brain that build up during the day. #mentalhealth
