Researchers in this cluster focus on the pathophysiology associated with brain conditions such as dementia, head injury/concussion and stroke. More specific projects focus on areas such as the consequences of concussions on the aging brain and on pharmacological and stem cell interventions to reduce or reverse damage to the brain.
