Impaired facial affect recognition is common after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and linked to poor social outcomes. We explored whether perception of emotions depicted by emoji is also impaired after TBI. Fifty participants with TBI and 50 non-injured peers generated free-text labels to describe em...
ObjectivesTo quantify the 3-year postinjury labor market consequences following traumatic brain injury in Canada. To also estimate the incurred national labor market cost over the study period. Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis retrospective quasi-experimental, pan-Canadian observational ...
It should be noted that a major publication from CIHI in 2007 on the burden of neurological diseases, disorders, and injuries in Canada, included the code F07.2. However, it was excluded from this review because it presented information on head and brain injury as one condition, including its...
that tDCS targeting the prefrontal cortex combined with computerized cognitive training significantly improved performance on the n-back task and Wisconsin Card Sort Test and increased prefrontal theta, alpha, and beta oscillatory activity compared to no intervention in patients with traumatic brain injury...
Necroptosis has been shown as an alternative form of cell death in many diseases, but the detailed mechanisms of the neuron loss after traumatic brain injury (TBI) in rodents remain unclear. To investigate whether necroptosis is induced after TBI and gets involved in the neuroprotecton of therape...
