(June 11, 2012) &#8212; U.S. Army Colonel Geoffrey S. F. Ling, M.D., Ph.D., who has been at the cutting edge of brain injury research since the mid 1990s was awarded the Humanitarian Award from the Brain Mapping Foundation in a ceremony in Toronto, Canada earlier this month. Ling is a professor and the interim Chairman of the Department of Neurology at the U.S.&#8217;s only military medical school&#8211;the Uniformed Services University (USU) and also the Program Director at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ling was the Army&#8217;s only neuro-intensive care specialist for many years. Therefore, he has had the opportunity to remain at USU since 1995. His expertise was needed to teach and train the medical students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Colonel Ling is a remarkable scientist and a compassionate physician who has helped train the finest doctors at USU,&#8221; said Ret. Vice Admiral Adam S. Robinson, Director of GPS Program of the Brain Mapping Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I am blown away by receiving this award,&#8221; said Ling who is regarded by many as the Army&#8217;s premier subject matter expert on traumatic brain injury (TBI). &#8220;It was totally unexpected and is a tremendous honor.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ling led the building of the neuro-trauma laboratory at USU in the 90s where they primarily studied TBI. He has deployed multiple times to Afghanistan where he treated countless service members and civilians. He said that Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom made TBI a big deal due to the nature of the injuries coming from those theaters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The wars gave the study and treatment of TBI legs,&#8221; said Ling. &#8220;But, I had already been studying it for years.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ling who is officially assigned to a critical care billet at the USH has published more than 150 publications. He also wrote the TBI chapter in the Cecil Textbook of Medicine, which is regarded by many in the medical field as &#8220;the granddaddy&#8221; of general internal medicine texts. He also helped author the Department of Defense\/Veteran&#8217;s Administration&#8217;s (DOD\/VA) guidelines on TBI. Additionally, because of his background in intensive care, Ling also has the opportunity to provide direct patient care. One of his first TBI patients in Afghanistan was a little girl who had fallen off of a roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;That&#8217;s one of the great things that I get to do.&#8221; he said. &#8220;I have the ability to actually take care of patients,&#8221; said Ling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We&#8217;ve created a system of care for TBI that is the best in the world,&#8221; said Ling. &#8220;I&#8217;m very proud of the military system of care for TBI. The military does this better than anybody,&#8221; said Ling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ling gave this example: &#8220;Take a kid who plays soccer. The boy gets hit in the head. He&#8217;s taken to a local hospital. He may or may not see a doctor. They may send him home without a scan. Three or four days later, the kid doesn&#8217;t feel right. He&#8217;s having headaches. Nobody knows what to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the military side, Ling said, the same kid will undergo a full neurology screening, be seen at a concussion care center, and receive training on mild TBI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Our model should be the standard,&#8221; said Ling. &#8220;We take care of TBI patients better than any hospital in the U.S.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ling also practices at Johns Hopkins Hospital where he did his neuro-intensive care training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Hopkins says we [the military] are the best,&#8221; said Ling. &#8220;We want everybody to adopt our system. TBI requires a system of care. The military has that system,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ling was on all four of former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Michael Mullen&#8217;s &#8220;Gray Teams&#8221; that were established to look at the state of TBI in the military. Additionally, he was on the team of physicians who treated U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords who was shot in the head in 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Her primary doctor, Dr. Peter Rhee, was a former Navy Captain trauma surgeon. He got his experience on the ground in Fallujah, Iraq. He was totally in control and knew exactly what to do,&#8221; said Ling who expects Gifford&#8217;s condition to continue to improve. &#8220;She got the best military care for her brain injury at the hands of a military doctor,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ling said that TBI has been around forever. But, gained prominence because of the lingering wars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It [TBI] was a problem asking for an answer,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So, I got involved.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The wars gave TBI traction within the DOD. That got us the resources we needed to manage this problem. The bottom line is it&#8217;s all about taking care of the wounded warfighter,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So, we were able to develop this system of care for TBI.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the year 2000 more than 235,000 service members worldwide have been diagnosed with TBI, which is defined as a disruption of brain function resulting from a blow or jolt to the head or penetrating head injury. More than 60 percent of service members diagnosed with TBI are U.S. Army Soldiers. Ling said that TBI is treatable and the key to treatment is to seek help immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though the wars are winding down, TBI now has momentum and support from the DOD, according to Ling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The disease won&#8217;t go away, but neither will our system of care for the wounded warfighter,&#8221; said Ling. &#8220;And that&#8217;s the positive legacy of this [war].&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ling said that the VA has become a great partner with the DOD in the treatment of TBI. Though the goal is to return as many to duty as possible, sometimes service members must be separated from the military. Because of the DOD\/VA partnership, the transition from the military health care system to the VA health care system is smoother, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The war fighter will continue to get really good care for as long as they need it. The DOD\/VA partnership is one that the American people can be quite proud of,&#8221; said Ling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information on Col.

His team&#8217;s research projects focus on the neuroscience, mathematics, computer science, software engineering and clinical aspects of neuroimaging and brain mapping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paul Thompson directs the ENIGMA Consortium, a global alliance of 307 scientists in 33 countries who conduct the largest studies of 10 major brain diseases \u2013 ranging from schizophrenia, depression, ADHD, bipolar illness and OCD, to HIV and addictions on the brain. ENIGMA\u2019s genomic screens of over 31,000 people\u2019s brain scans and genome-wide data (published in Nature Genetics, 2012; Nature, 2015) have brought together experts from 185 institutions to unearth genetic variants that affect brain structure, disease risk, and brain connectivity. At USC, Dr. Thompson is a Professor of Neurology, Psychiatry, Radiology, Pediatrics, Engineering, and Ophthalmology, and Director of the ENIGMA Center for Worldwide Medicine, Imaging &amp; Genomics &#8211; a $11M NIH Center of Excellence in Big Data Computing. Using worldwide medication screens, ENIGMA discovers factors that affect progression of Alzheimer\u2019s disease and other dementias, schizophrenia, depression and childhood brain<br>disorders. One study unites teams from the Thai Red Cross, the US, and South Africa, and uses methods developed by Dr Thompson\u2019s team (Nature, 2000) to study how treatments restore brain growth in HIV+ children. Dr. Thompson also directs the USC Imaging Genetics Center\u2013 a group of 40 scientists in Marina del Rey. His team created the first maps of Alzheimer\u2019s disease and schizophrenia spreading in the living brain, and a method to track brain growth in children. Dr. Thompson has an M.A. in mathematics and Greek and Latin Languages from Oxford University, and a PhD in neuroscience from UCLA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Collaborating with imaging labs around the world, Dr. Thompson and his students have published over 1,300 publications (h-index: 116) describing novel mathematical and computational strategies for analyzing brain image databases, for detecting pathology in individual patients and groups, and for creating disease-specific atlases of the human brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recent work has discovered new structural and functional brain changes during brain development and degeneration, Alzheimer&#8217;s Disease and other dementias, schizophrenia and bipolar illness, HIV\/AIDS, methamphetamine abuse, and autism. For many of these illnesses, Dr. Thompson&#8217;s Center is creating population-based tools to understand factors that resist them. New computational tools, developed in the lab, are used to map how these diseases spread in the living brain, and in drug trials and basic research studies.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c2b664e elementor-widget elementor-widget-jet-listing-dynamic-link\" data-id=\"c2b664e\"
