#StudentSpotlight: Bailey Whitehead is a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate in the WVU Department of Neuroscience. Bailey is the lead author of a paper recently published in Neuroscience Letters entitled "Traumatic brain injury induces pericyte detachment independent of stroke vulnerability." In November, he presented his research at the Society for Neuroscience meeting in Washington, D.C. "My current research is centralized on the idea that traumatic brain injury changes how the neurovasculature responds after an injury. If you have certain cell types that surround the vessels, those will be impaired after an injury, and that leads to worse outcomes after an injury and after a stroke, as well. I'm curious about how traumatic brain injury can impact the vasculature and how that impacts the brain's overall health. I have a neurological disorder myself, so I've always been interested in how the brain works — what makes the brain tick and what makes it not work like it's supposed to." #WVUNeur...
