Stanford biology student, Theo Roth, spent the past few summers developing an
experiment for observing the brain's cellular response to a concussion. The
never-before-seen action could one day lead to therapies that mitigate brain
damage following mild traumatic brain injuries.

A biology student at Stanford and researchers at the National Institutes of
Health have devised a method for observing the immediate effects of a mild
traumatic brain injury (TBI) in real time in mice. The work has revealed how
individual cells respond to the injury and has helped the researchers suggest
a possible therapeutic approach for limiting brain damage in humans.
