After traumatic brain injury, temporary pharmacological inhibition of the integrated stress response (ISR) with a small-molecule inhibitor (ISRIB) rescued long-lasting trauma-induced cognitive deficits. Here, we found that ISRIB treatment rapidly and persistently reversed the aberrant changes in cortical spine dynamics in the parietal cortex while rescuing working memory deficits. These data suggest that the link between the ISR and memory function involves, at least in part, changes in neuronal structure. Targeting ISR activation could serve as a promising approach to the clinical treatment of chronic cognitive deficits after brain injuries. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of long-term neurological disability in the world and the strongest environmental risk factor for the development of dementia. Even mild TBI (resulting from concussive injuries) is associated with a greater than twofold increase in the risk of dementia onset. Little is known about the cellular mechanisms responsible for the progression of long-lasting cognitive deficits. The integrated stress response (ISR), a phylogenetically conserved pathway involved in the cellular response to stress, is activated after TBI, and inhibition of the ISR—even weeks after injury—can reverse behavioral and cognitive deficits. However, the cellular mechanisms by which ISR inhibition restores cognition are unknown. Here, we used longitudinal two-photon imaging in vivo after concussive injury in mice to study dendritic spine dynamics in the parietal cortex, a brain region involved in working memory. Concussive injury profoundly altered spine dynamics measured up to a month after injury. Strikingly, brief pharmacological treatment with the drug-like small-molecule ISR inhibitor ISRIB entirely reversed structural changes measured in the parietal cortex and the associated working memory deficits. Thus, both neural and cognitive consequences of concussive injury are mediated in part by activation of the ISR and can be corrected by its inhibition. These findings suggest that targeting ISR activation could serve as a promising approach to the clinical treatment of chronic cognitive deficits after TBI.
