Scientists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have shown that a single dose of a new molecule they developed can effectively protect the brain from inflammation, cell death, and cognitive impairments that often follow a mild TBI. These changes could result from an increase in glutamate levels, oxidative stress, opening of the blood-brain-barrier, and in particular
