Researchers use neuroimaging to measure early cognitive improvement after mild TBI

alzheimers researchersDALLAS: Researchers published results of a novel study of the functional activation patterns of working memory after mild traumatic brain injury (TBI).

This study, the first to enrol subjects during their initial evaluation in the emergency room, provides new information on the acute effects of TBI on cognition. The fMRI studies, conducted at <72 hours after injury and at one week after TBI, provide neuroimaging evidence for working memory deficits during the week following injury...
