Unraveling the Brain’s Symphony: How Acute Tinnitus Disrupts Neural Harmony

Imagine the brain as a symphony, with different networks playing different instruments in perfect harmony. But what happens when a disruptive force enters the stage? In this study, scientists investigated the underlying neurophysiological mechanisms of acute tinnitus, a condition characterized by phantom sounds in the ears. They compared the brain connectivity patterns of patients with […]

Navigating the Neuronal Battlefield: Controlling Microglial Polarization in TBI

In the treacherous world of traumatic brain injury (TBI), microglia are like warriors defending the central nervous system (CNS). These specialized troops, known as macrophages, are divided into two factions: the inflammation-promoting M1 and the inflammation-inhibiting M2. Steering microglia toward the desired polarization is crucial for TBI treatment. Elucidating the intricate signal pathways involved, such […]
