(NR Times) – Researchers at the University of Coimbra are investigating neuropeptide Y, a molecule that occurs naturally in the body, as a potential treatment for traumatic brain injury. The work forms part of the project “therapY: The Neuropeptide Y System as a New Therapeutic Target Against Traumatic Brain Injury”.
The researchers found significant differences in inflammation and cellular stress between the left and right sides of the hippocampus following traumatic brain injury. The hippocampus is a brain region involved in memory and emotional regulation. CONTINUE
