Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can cause a variety of complications, health effects that are not TBI themselves but that result from it. They are caused by the physiologic responses to the initial injury, can be delayed over the time and involve several body districts. We are calling for original submissions covering all aspects of brain-body crosstalk following a traumatic brain injury episode: Some themes for scientific papers may include: • Experimental studies exploring the pathophysiology of brain-peripheral organs cross-talk • Clinical studies evaluating the prevalence and the effect on outcome of extracranial complications after traumatic brain injury • Research on the management and challenges consequent to peripheral organs dysfunction following traumatic brain injury. If you are interested, we suggest submitting a brief proposal/abstract to the editors, at kiarobba@gmail.com. Relevant papers can be submitted via Editorial Manager by selecting the Special issue T.C.: “Extracranial complications after traumatic brain injury”. Please note: all submissions will be evaluated for relevance to the “Extracranial complications after traumatic brain injury” theme and will be subject to regular peer review.
