Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI), one of the most common diseases of neurosurgery, remains high mortality and disability in the population under 45 years. TBI patients suffer permanent cognitive neurological and psychological disabilities. In recent years, basic and clinical experiments have shown that the active form of vitamin D3 (vitamin D hormone, VDH) treatment can improve TBI-induced cognitive impairment and mental disorders. Therefore, in this paper, we focused on the physiological role of vitamin D and the possible mechanism of VDH supplementation following TBI.
