I am not as familiar with that area. However, in the lab I worked in at MIT, we focused on Alzheimer's disease, but we also had somebody in the lab studying brain injury. We could see that there were some similarities in how the brain was reacting in the immune response, for example. This is again going back to the point that fundamental knowledge about the brain is going to benefit all of these different areas, whether you're talking about a brain injury or about Alzheimer's disease.
In fact, the Canadian Concussion Network, which is a network of researchers and patients, and Brain Injury Canada, which is a non-profit foundation, are all part of this coalition as well.
