TBI and demyelina2on:
What is Chewing the Fat? “yes, you’re right,
and a good thing too”

Mul2ple Sclerosis:
An Immune or
Neurodegenera2ve Disorder?
Bruce D. Trapp1 and Klaus‐Armin Nave2
Annu. Rev. Neurosci. 2008. 31:247–69
Demyelina2on is a
major feature
of many CNS
disorders and injuries.
Why has it not been
extensively
examined in TBI?
"How long has THAT been there?"
Regina Armstrong;
“although not yet studied in TBI,
mul2ple sclerosis studies indicate that
demyelinated axons can remain viable for
prolonged periods , but may be more vulnerable to Contact Loading Iner2al Loading
further damage from repeated insults.”
1o BLAST? Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI)

What is DAI?
Can the
progression from
axonal swelling
to disconnection
be stopped?
What is the role
of myelin?
Are swollen axons the predominant pathology of DAI?

Myelin Sheath Ionic Gradients?
Could DTI in TBI elucidate changes
in myelin vs. axonal pathology?
Myelin plays a key role in axonal ionic homeostasis
Stys and Lipton, TIPS 28(11), 2007
Does dysfunc2onal myelin promote axonal degenera2on?
Do dysfunc2onal axons promote demyelina2on?
Are axonal channelopathies in TBI similar to channelopathies in MS?
What is needed
More study
AFTER TBI:
Beier probes to show demyelina2on
Knowns: Unknowns:
Long‐term degenera2on of axons A causa2ve link between
any of the knowns
Long‐term death of oligodendrocytes
