Increased Risk Of Violent Crime After Traumatic Brain Injury
Historically, there has been an association of violent crime and traumatic brain injury (TBI). There are numerous case studies of violent behaviors after TBI, and there is an extremely high prevalence of prisoners with TBI. This association is in part
Post-Concussion Syndrome May Not Be An Accurate Measure Of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Post-concussion syndrome (PCS) is defined as a set of common symptoms that occur in the days or months after a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). These symptoms include fatigue, depression, headaches, dizziness, and cognitive problems. PCS has been a somewhat
Neuronal Degeneration in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) can cause cognitive and psychological symptoms without any evidence of injury on a CT or MRI scan. Many scientists and clinicians now accept that this limitation is due more probably from the relatively low resolution
The Future of Research in The Diagnosis of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
A tremendous number of soldiers are thought to have sustained a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). This number is thought to be even higher, but is difficult to verify because there is not yet an accurate, efficient diagnostic tool for
Interviewing method influences how patients report mild TBI symptoms
There are two ways to determine an mTBI patient’s symptoms. One way is to ask patients to talk freely about symptoms and record their spontaneous responses. Another way is to administer a questionnaire that lists the typical symptoms of mTBI,
Interviewing method influences how patients report mild TBI symptoms.
There are two ways to determine an mTBI patient’s symptoms. One way is to ask patients to talk freely about symptoms and record their spontaneous responses. Another way is to administer a questionnaire that lists the typical symptoms of mTBI,
Defining the relationship between mild traumatic brain injury and postconcussion syndrome
It can be difficult to define mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Features such as age, sex, education, psychological history, or medical history can lead to differences in symptom reporting. The pathology of mTBI is unclear and can be different depending
When “having your bell rung” really means “mild TBI”: Terminology matters in sport-related brain injury
Concussion, mild traumatic brain injury, and mild head injury are diagnostic terms that have traditionally been interchangeable. Clinicians argue that each diagnosis carries a distinct set of features (especially between mTBI and concussion), but in the meantime, the exact terminology
The specific brain areas related to memory impairment in mTBI
Two main areas of the brain associated with memory are the medial temporal lobe, which houses the hippocampus and is thought to be responsible for consolidating new information into long-term memory, and the pre-frontal cortex, which has been found to
