Abstract:
During the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan,traumatic brain injury (TBI)has become the most prev-alent military injury that is described as the signature injuryof the current military operations.It usually causes no or mild external injury but results in serious long-lasting neuropsychiatric abnormalities,which have far-reaching impact on veterans,their families and the American society.Here we describeol the investment in TBI from the US government and the development in the diagnosis and treatment of mild TBI on the battlefield before putting forward some proposals for the Chinese army.
