Abstract
Normal brain function requires the careful orchestration of neurotransmission and neuroelectric activity. In the traumatically injured brain, disruption of these processes may underlie, in part, subsequent brain dysfunction. This chapter focuses on two areas of traumatic brain injury (TBI) research: neurotransmitters and electrophysiology. Reviewed here are the TBI-induced responses to specific neurotransmitter systems and interventions to modulate these responses. Also, the effects of TBI on spontaneous and evoked electrical activity are reviewed.
