@neubadah We’re looking to hire a tech and a post-doc interested in (1) how the brain protects itself against concussion and (2) how we can use exosomes to understand the brain’s injury response & treat concussion. Learn more at https://t.co/oWNKv6DpcH!

Head impacts do more than damage brain tissue – they may disrupt how blood flow and neural activity work together, with consequences that current injury models often miss.

Researchers probed this issue by integrating biomechanical and neurodynamic modeling approaches to assess how head impacts alter large-scale brain activity via structural damage and shifts in local tissue oxygenation.

Using a network model informed by structural and vascular dynamics, they simulated 53 real-world head impacts and tracked changes in brain activity across different vascular anatomies. The model showed strong discrimination between concussion and non-concussion cases while revealing distinct patterns of network disruption across injury types. It also showed that vascular differences can influence how resilient the brain is to these effects.

Understanding how vascular dynamics shape brain response to impact could enable more personalized injury prediction, protection strategies, and recovery pathways.

Exciting new work from postdoc Taotao Wu on features affecting brain injury risk!

[Taotao Wu @taotaowu09]

🆕🧠📰🚨 So what makes a person more susceptible to a brain injury? Maybe they are postdocs (people with PhDs: Permanent Head Damage). 🙃 Check out this fresh paper, we probed how physical features of the brain and impact direction can holistically contribute to the risk.

Awesome job, Jared! You are the creative genius this world needs.

In publishing my first first authored paper(!), I realized that #scicomm misses a huge potential market: kids. In that spirit, I also published my first first authored children's book! Before reading the paper in its entirety (https://t.co/UPgOraej7k), enjoy a funsized summary:

[Erin Berlew @eerinberr]

I'm also continuing @pennbioeng as a lecturer for senior design (with @DFMeaneyLab and Sevile in @PennBElabs) and my beloved Python programming class!

I am beyond excited about the science and education I get to be a part of, with incredible students, mentors, collaborators!
