Estrogen Effects on Traumatic Brain Injury: A Comprehensive Guide

Written by Kelli A Duncan, this book offers a comprehensive understanding of estrogen-mediated neuroprotection following Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), making the subject accessible to both researchers and advanced students.

The Role of Estrogens in TBI

Leading researchers and practitioners come together to explain the basis of their work, methods, and results, shedding light on the complex role of estrogens in brain damage. The book delves into topics such as:

• Induction of estrogen response
• Consequences of estrogen action
• Mechanisms underlying estrogen-mediated neuroprotection

This book is essential reading for teachers, researchers, and clinicians interested in the critical role estrogens play in TBI.

Key Features

The book provides:

• A foundational view of estrogens as neuroprotectors in TBI, making it an ideal resource for researchers and advanced students
• Data Analysis boxes in each chapter to aid data interpretation and offer guidelines on understanding results
• A multidisciplinary approach to the methods, issues, and empirical findings in the field of estrogen-mediated neuroprotection
• Detailed focus on how studies relate and build upon each other, and the ways different methods of analysis inform each other
• New and developing treatment options for clinicians working with patients with TBI

By bridging the gap between researchers, students, and clinicians, this book fosters a deeper understanding of estrogen-mediated neuroprotection and its potential to transform the treatment of TBI.
