Ghrelin decreases motor deficits after traumatic brain injury.

Pharmacologic therapy for traumatic brain injury (TBI) has remained relatively unchanged for decades. Ghrelin, an endogenously produced peptide, has been shown to prevent apoptosis and blood-brain barrier dysfunction after TBI. We hypothesize that ghrelin treatment will prevent neuronal degeneration and improve motor coordination after TBI.
