Traumatic brain injury (TBI) stands as a global health concern precipitated by incidents ranging from bumps to jolts, each capable of inflicting wide-ranging physical and psychological repercussions. Manifestations commonly encompass transient loss of consciousness, dizziness, headache, nausea, and vomiting, with some signs emerging immediately post-injury while others surface days or weeks later. TBI constitutes a significant cause of mortality and disability worldwide, with mounting evidence suggesting a heightened susceptibility among individuals exposed to TBI earlier in life to develop neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), and sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (sALS).
