Multiple synergistic mechanisms contribute to secondary brain damage following acute insults to CNS like stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal cord injury (SCI). The goal of this special issue is to discuss some of those pathways and the current experimental therapeutic approaches that help minimize the neurological dysfunction after acute CNS injuries.Transcription factors are known to play a significant role in inflammation, oxidative stress and neuronal death as well as neuroprotection and plasticity after stroke. Yin et al. discuss the role of the zinc finger family of transcription factors; Krüppel-like factors in protecting neurons and capillaries after stroke. Cerebral inflammation is known to significantly influence neural progenitor cell proliferation. In this regard, Wang and Jin discuss the role of various inflammatory molecules in modulating neurogenesis after stroke. As GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain and its dysfunction plays a role in secondary brain damage, Wu and Sun discuss the potential role of GABA in various forms of acute CNS injuries, including stroke and TBI. Glial cells play important roles in protecting as well as exacerbating neuronal death after acute CNS insults by modulating inflammatory reactions. Kawabori and Yenari show the role of microglia in mediating secondary brain damage following stroke. Ziebell et al. discuss the potential of microglia in the neuronal damage afterTBI. Furthermore, Muradashvili et al. discuss the significance of
