HEAD INJURY RESEARCH

加州大学洛杉矶分校头部损伤研究中心的使命是建立一个 多学科学术努力研究脑损伤及其 结果。该团队由神经外科的研究人员和临床医生组成， 神经生理学，流行病学，生物化学，生物力学，放射学， 神经学、神经病理学、心理学、精神病学和康复。这个 该中心的主题是确定有利或不利的预测因素 脑损伤后的结果，并对其进行地区性定义。了解以下内容 这些预测指标，无论是代谢的、结构的、功能的、流行病学的， 或行为上的，将完全防止脑损伤或 将指导新治疗方法的开发，从而改善结果。 一系列高度集中的多学科研究项目将 在四个主要领域进行：流行病学、急性脑代谢 功能障碍、慢性脑代谢功能障碍与神经行为 结果，以及基础实验室研究的神经化学，代谢和 创伤性脑损伤的行为后遗症。我们将完成我们的使命 任务方： -建立和维持一个组织结构，该结构将 促进和加强多学科、跨部门和 促进研究、传播研究成果和培训的跨机构努力 脑损伤方面的专家。 -促进和开展关于脑损伤原因的跨学科研究， 治疗和结果。 -加强、扩大或发展脑损伤的持续培训机会 研究人员、从业者、医生的预防、治疗和康复 和公共卫生社区机构。 -向研究人员、从业者传播脑损伤研究成果， 和公共卫生机构。 -评估中心的进展，并开始确定和吸引其他资金 确保加州大学洛杉矶分校脑损伤研究活动的资源 中心的扩展和继续超过五年的资金分配。

The mission of the UCLA Head Injury Research Center is to establish a multidisciplinary academic effort to study brain injuries and their outcomes. The team consists of researchers and clinicians in neurosurgery, neurophysiology, epidemiology, biochemistry, biomechanics, radiology, neurology, neuropathology, psychology, psychiatry, and rehabilitation. The theme of the Center is to identify predictors of favorable or unfavorable outcome following brain injury and to define them regionally. Knowledge of these predictors, be they metabolic, structural, functional, epidemiologic, or behavioral, will prevent altogether the occurrence of brain injury or will guide the development of new treatments which will improve outcome. A series of highly focused multidisciplinary research projects will be conducted in four primary realms; epidemiology, acute brain metabolic dysfunction, chronic brain metabolic dysfunction and neurobehavioral outcome, and a basic laboratory study of the neurochemical, metabolic and behavioral sequelae of traumatic brain injury. We will accomplish our mission by: -Establishing and maintaining an organizational structure which will facilitate and enhance multidisciplinary, interdepartmental, and interagency efforts to promote research, disseminate findings, and train specialists in brain injury. -Promote and conduct interdisciplinary research on brain injury causes, treatment and outcomes. -Enhance, expand, or develop ongoing training opportunities in brain injury prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation for researchers, practitioners, and public health community agencies. -Disseminate brain injury research findings to researchers, practitioners, and public health agencies. -Evaluate Center progress and begin to identify and attract other funding resources to assure that the activities of the UCLA Brain Injury Research Center expand and continue beyond the five-year funding allocation.
