THE NATURE OF NEUROADAPTIVE AND COMPENSATORY CAPABILITIES OF COMBATANTS WITH CONCUSSION DUE TO COMBAT CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA AND AFTER THE THERAPY PROVIDED

Abstract

The effect of therapy on brain neurodynamics and cortisol content in serum and cerebrospinal fluid of patients with concussion in the acute and intermediate periods of light combat traumatic brain injury (LCTBI) was studied. Disturbances of neuroadaptive mechanisms and features of compensatory-restorative processes in the dynamics of the course of LCTBI were revealed. Along with positive neuroadaptive changes on EEG after treatment, the preservation of stress and catabolic effects of cortisol is observed in the intermediate period of LCTBI.
