Senators Joe Lieberman (ID-CT) and Barbara Boxer (D-CA) introduced the Mental Health Care for our Wounded Warriors Act of 2007 last week. This legislation would create a "Center of Excellence" in coordination with the Department of Defense in order to research and aid in the development of ways to prevent and treat traumatic brain injuries suffered by soldiers during their time of service.

Researchers at the American Academy of Neurology have recently localized two new genes that are associated with fever-related seizures in children.

In an effort to understand and help diagnosis the increasing number of brain injuries suffered by soldiers during their time of service, the United States Army will begin testing brain scanning equipment.

I recently found this article on NewsWise.com from the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) that discusses a very interesting topic: morbidity and mortality in the pediatric population, as a result of traumatic brain injuries.

I recently found a link to a website with information relating to the connection between concussions and suicidal depression.
