Brain rewires itself after damage or injury
When the brain’s primary “learning center” is damaged, complex new neural circuits arise to compensate for the lost function.
Rehabilitation outcome of unconscious traumatic brain injury patients
Despite a strong negative selection, a substantial proportion of severe TBI patients with DOC achieves functional improvements or at least emerge from MCS within the inpatient rehabilitation phase.
New Technology Uses Wireless Signals To Diagnose Traumatic Brain Injury
New technology is using wireless signals to provide real-time, noninvasive diagnoses of brain swelling or bleeding.
Vocational rehabilitation for clients with cognitive and behavioral disorders associated with traumatic brain injury
Despite a high prevalence of cognitive and behavioral disorders after moderate-to-severe TBI, long-term functional improvement is likely to occur in clients with TBI.
Scientists hunt for ways to untangle damage of chronic traumatic encephalopathy
A study of five former National Football League players and five control subjects, the positron emission tomography, or PET, scans showed that the former NFL players had higher levels of deposits in subsurface brain regions and the amygdala, an almond shaped structure that governs emotions like fear and anger.
Interindividual variability in recovery after traumatic brain injury: Effect of cognitive reserve
The results of this study suggest that cognitive reserve may mediate recovery after a moderate or severe TBI.
Head injury and risk of Parkinson disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis
The results of our meta-analysis indicate that a history of head trauma that results in concussion is associated with a higher risk of developing PD.
