Abstract: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the most important causes of disability of the young people and adults around the world, which caused high mortality and the survivors often accompanied sequelae of physical disability, mental disability and so on. TBI brings a heavy burden to the society development. Autophagy is a hot research field in recent years. Although the study on the mechanism of autophagy changes in the secondary damage induced by TBI has been gradually increasing in recent years, there are still many mechanisms of autophagy to be elucidated. The main aim of this review is to elaborate on the changes of autophagy related mechanism after TBI.

Key words: traumatic brain injury, autophagy, autophagy related mechanisms
