First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how past traumatic brain injuries (TBI) may affect thinking skills and blood vessel health in 300 active-duty or veteran military members. Researchers will measure substances in the blood linked to blood vessel damage, inflammation, and brain cell loss. They aim to find patterns that could predict memory problems or dementia after TBI.
