Title:
TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY - BRAIN IMAGING STUDY
|
| What is the purpose of the study? |
| |
The CAMH Research Imaging Centre is investigating inflammation in the brain of people suffering from traumatic brain injury (TBI) and depression. We will be measuring the level of a protein called monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B), which we think will be elevated in TBI and depression. Ultimately we hope that this study will lead to the development of future cures that can target MAO-B.
