In this issue of the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, Al Yacoub et al. (2024) report new findings in their paper “Recovery from Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Is Nociceptin/Orphanin FQ Peptide (NOP) Receptor Genotype-, Sex-, and Injury Severity-Dependent”, which suggest that nociceptin/orphanin FQ peptide (NOP) may play an adverse role in the pathogenesis of functionally significant deficits following traumatic brain injury (TBI) (Fig. 1).

Statistical Analyses We used Stata (version 15; StataCorp) to conduct the statistical analyses. Participants were considered to enter the study at the time of their participation in a FINRISK study and participant age was the underlying time measure. We defined the end of follow-up as death, date of dementia diagnosis, or December 31, 2017, whichever came first. To assess the association between TBI and risk of dementia, we used Cox proportional hazard models.
