Overview

Brain injury is structural or functional damage to the brain arising from an external mechanical force, as in traumatic brain injury, or from internal insults such as ischemia, hemorrhage, hypoxia, infection, or neoplasm. Traumatic brain injury is classified by severity using measures such as the Glasgow Coma Scale and by mechanism and pathology, including focal contusions and hematomas, diffuse axonal injury, and secondary injury cascades driven by edema, raised intracranial pressure, excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Clinical consequences span motor, cognitive, behavioral, and seizure-related sequelae, and outcomes depend on injury severity, age, timeliness of intervention, and access to neurosurgical and critical care. Management integrates acute stabilization, neurosurgical evacuation of mass lesions, control of secondary injury, and rehabilitation. Research grounded in this area examines outcomes and prognostic factors in pediatric and adult traumatic brain injury treated in referral and comprehensive hospital settings, surgical management of extradural hematoma, the role of cerebral hypercarbia in altered consciousness, neuroprotective strategies against oxidative injury in astrocytes, and discharge disposition after traumatic injury. The journal publishes peer-reviewed work on neurological injury and its sequelae, including the interface between brain injury, epileptogenesis, and recovery, integrating neurosurgical, neurocritical, and rehabilitative perspectives across diverse clinical populations.
