Center for Neurological Studies

The Center for Neurological Studies (CNS) is a Michigan-based non-profit research organization dedicated to advancing the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and other neurological disorders. Co-founded by Dr. Randall Benson, the center is a leader in utilizing advanced neuroimaging techniques, such as Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and Susceptibility Weighted Imaging (SWI), to identify structural and functional brain damage often missed by conventional MRI. CNS operates specialized clinical research programs for high-risk populations, including military veterans through its 'Hope After Combat' initiative and former professional athletes through its NFL player studies. The organization also investigates therapeutic interventions for brain trauma, specifically focusing on the role of pituitary dysfunction and growth hormone replacement therapy in neurorecovery.
