Abstract

The issue of repetitive mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) gets greater attention due to the increase of data on its neurodegenerative consequences (chronic traumatic encephalopathy, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease). The main risk factors of repetitive mild TBI are contact sports like soccer, football, box, hockey, etc as well as participance in military events. Standard life-time methods of diagnostics don’t allow to determine the effects of repetitive mild TBI on the tissue level. For this reason, experimental studies are necessary for this kind of mechanical brain injury. In addition, due to insufficient knowledge on rmTBI pathophysiology in human there remains need in effective treatments. The review presents the general characteristics of rmTBI, pathophysiology data based on experimental research, the types of models in laboratory animals, in particular, the examples of how neurodegenerative diseases after repetitive mild TBI were reproduced in transgenic models.

Keywords: repetitive mild traumatic brain injury; neurodegenerative diseases; experimental modeling.
