Visual deficits after traumatic brain injury (TBI) are common, but interventions that limit the post-trauma impairments have not been identified. We found treatment with cannabinoid type-2 receptor (CB2) inverse agonist SMM-189 for 2 weeks closed-head blast TBI greatly attenuates visual and retinal pathology this otherwise produces in mice, by modulating deleterious role of microglia process trauma. SMM-189, however, has yet approved human use. Raloxifene is an FDA-approved estrogen drug...
