Long-Term Effects of Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries to Oculomotor Tracking Performance

Study finds presence of abnormal saccadic eye movements, diminished accuracy of primary saccadic horizontal eye movement, and a widespread slower reaction to both visual and auditory stimuli.

Children with TBI: The Efficacy of a Half-Day Training for School Psychologists

School Psychologists’ Knowledge and Self-Efficacy in Working with Students with TBI

The incidence rates of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are increasing, yet educators continue to be inadequately trained in assessing and serving students with TBIs. This study examined the efficacy of a half-day TBI training program for school psychologists designed to improve their knowledge and skills.

Best Practices Lacking for Managing TBI in Geriatric Patients

Geriatric Traumatic Brain Injury: Epidemiology, Outcomes, Knowledge Gaps, and Future Directions

The lack of evidence-based, geriatric-specific traumatic brain injury guidelines presents barriers to optimal care for older adults that suffer a TBI.

Repeated Head Hits, Not Concussion, May Be Behind CTE

A study published in Brain, a journal of neurology, presents the strongest case yet that repetitive hits to the head that aren't concussions do cause CTE.

The Mechanisms Blast Brain Injury: What We Know and Don't Know

Mild blast traumatic brain injury (bTBI) accounts for the majority of brain injury service members and veterans but the mechanisms of primary blast brain injury continue to be disputed. Addressed in this review are blast wave transmission through the skull, direct cranial transmission, skull flexure dynamics, thoracic surge, acceleration, and cavitation.

Does End-Of-Life Care After TBI Differ at Low-Mortality Hospitals vs All Other Hospitals?

A comparison of end-of-life treatment at low-mortality hospitals and other hospitals in older patients with traumatic brain injury.
