Understanding how diffuse mild traumatic brain injuries can provoke common and persistent post-concussive symptoms (PCS), such as impaired sleep, is crucial to prevent and treat chronic disability and neurodegeneration. We mapped the spatially-resolved single cell landscape of diffuse mTBI pathology in a mouse model of blast exposure; identifying brainstem injuries predictive of later PCS. Repeated mTBI was necessary to establish chronic microglial activation and phagocytosis of myelin in the pontine reticular formation; where IL33 release by oligodendrocytes predicted microgliopathy. In postmortem brainstem tissues from patients with traumatic brain injury, chronic microglial activation and myelin phagocytosis was evident up to 20 years after diffuse mTBI caused by blast. In living patients with chronic blast mTBI, myelin injury in pontine projections mediated sleep disturbance and other PCS, with a dose dependent effect of mTBI number on sleep disturbance severity. These results support a mechanism for diffuse mTBIs to cause delayed persistent PCS.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
