Satellite microglia: marker of traumatic brain injury and regulator of neuronal excitability by Alicia B. Feichtenbiner, Karinn Sytsma, Ryan P. O’Boyle, Rhonda Mittenzwei, Heather Maioli, Kathryn P. Scherpelz, Daniel D. Child, Ning Li, Jeanelle Ariza Torres, Lisa Keene, Amanda Kirkland, Kimberly Howard, Caitlin Latimer, C. Dirk Keene, Christopher Ransom, Amber L. Nolan

“…However, little is known regarding the pathophysiology of human traumatic brain injury, especially in the window after acute injury and the later life development of progressive neurodegenerative disease. Given the proposed mechanisms of toxic protein production and neuroinflammation as possible initiators or contributors to progressive pathology, we examined phosphorylated tau accumulation, microgliosis and astrogliosis using immunostaining in the orbitofrontal cortex, a region often vulnerable across traumatic brain injury exposures, in an age and sex-matched cohort of community traumatic brain injury including both mild and severe cases in midlife. …”
