Subjective cognitive functioning in adults hospitalized after traumatic brain injury: A four-year follow-up
CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that subjective cognitive functioning is poorer than normative values and fairly stable over four years after TBI, with a slight decrease between 4 and 24-36 months, and is similar between mild and moderate-severe TBI.
Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Impairs Fear Extinction and Network Excitability in the Infralimbic Cortex
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of morbidity and disability, with mild TBI (concussions) representing over 80% of cases. Although often considered benign, mild TBI is associated with persistent neuropsychiatric conditions, including post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression. A hallmark of these conditions is impaired fear extinction (FE), the process by which learned […]
Posttraumatic headache and clinical recovery after pediatric concussion
CONCLUSIONS: Onset of PTH was associated with worse PCS up to 8 weeks after pediatric concussion. Chronic PTH and new PTH were associated with moderately poorer fluid cognitive functioning up to 6 months postinjury. Pain declined over time regardless of PTH type.

Prevalence of low scores in the Uniform Data Set version 3.0: Comparison of older adults with and without a self-reported history of traumatic brain injury
CONCLUSIONS: Participants with and without a history of TBI largely produced low scores on cognitive testing at similar frequencies. Cognitive status, sex, education, depression, and TBI recency showed variable associations with the number of low scores within subsamples. Future research that includes more comprehensive TBI history is indicated to characterize factors that may modify the […]
