More than 350 U.S. service members sustained injuries since military actions began against Iran in February. Traumatic brain injuries, or TBIs, represent a significant portion of these cases.
Researchers like Jayna Moceri Brooks have studied combat-related brain injuries for years. Brooks' research indicates that TBIs, resulting from blasts or impacts, have become a defining injury for troops involved in post-9/11 conflicts.
Symptoms of TBI can persist for extended periods, potentially affecting individuals for years or even throughout their lives.
