Traumatic Brain Disease in the Military: Past, Present and Future

Professor Daniel Perl  is highly regarded for his work on various aspects of the neuropathology of age-related neurodegenerative disorders, especially the role of environmental factors in their induction.  

In 2010, Professor Perl joined the faculty of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, MD.  In conjunction with the congressionally mandated Center for Neuroscience and Regenerative Medicine, he has established a state-of-the-art neuropathology laboratory dedicated to research on the acute and long-term effects of traumatic brain injury and PTSD among military personnel.  

In his talk, Professor Perl will review the fascinating 100 year history of traumatic brain injury in the military and, in particular, its long-term consequences.
