Department of Neuroscience, Georgetown University, Washington DC, USA
Exp Brain Res 147:193-9. 2002..We conclude that COX-2 is involved in the development of functional deficits following diffuse TBI, particularly cognitive deficits, and that these can be improved by administration of COX-2 inhibitors...
