An Innate Neuroprotective Reflex Activates NRF2 via Phosphorylation of p62 at Ser351 to Mitigate Traumatic Brain Injury

Chunyan Li, Keren Powell, Steven Wadolowski, David LeDoux, Amir R Dehdashti, Jamie S Ullman, Max Brenner, Christopher LeDoux, Kaitlyn Rams, Daniel Sciubba, Ping Wang

This paper shows that artificial diving reflex via trigeminal nerve stimulation activates NRF2 through p62 phosphorylation, offering neuroprotection in traumatic brain injury without depleting antioxidant reserves.

Trigeminal Nerve Stimulation Attenuates Traumatic Brain Injury-Induced Neuronal Damage via CGRP-PINK1 Mitophagy Axis

Chunyan Li, Keren Powell, Steven Wadolowski, Junhwan Kim, Kaitlyn Rams, Bernadette Tam, Amir Dehdashti, Jamie S. Ullman, David Ledoux, Lance B. Becker, Ping Wang

This paper shows that trigeminal nerve stimulation reduces traumatic brain injury-induced neuronal damage by preserving mitochondrial function through the CGRP-PINK1 mitophagy pathway.

Endogenous CGRP activates NRF2 signaling via non-electrophilic mechanisms

Keren Powell, Steven Wadolowski, Willians Tambo, Eric H. Chang, Daniel J. Kim, Asha Jacob, Daniel Michael Sciubba, Yousef Al‐Abed, Ping Wang, Chunyan Li

This study shows endogenous CGRP activates NRF2 via non-electrophilic mechanisms, with organ-specific pathways and time-dependent effects on oxidative stress resistance.

Intrinsic diving reflex enhances cognitive performance by alleviating microvascular dysfunction in vascular cognitive impairment

Willians Tambo, Keren Powell, Steven Wadolowski, Daniel Michael Sciubba, Michael L. Brines, Chunyan Li

This study investigates how the diving reflex alleviates microvascular dysfunction and improves cognitive performance in a rat model of vascular cognitive impairment.
