Evidence of the role of the cerebellum in cognitive theory of mind using voxel-based lesion mapping
Theory of Mind (ToM) is a social-cognitive skill that allows the understanding of the intentions, beliefs, and desires of others. There is a distinction between affective and cognitive ToM, with evidence showing that these processes rely on partially ...

A head trauma is any injury that results in trauma to the skull, scalp, or brain. Every patient with a suspected head trauma should initially undergo a focused neurological examination which consists of the Glasgow Coma Scale Score (GCS), plus pupillary reactivity, that classifies the traumatic brain injury (TBI) as mild, moderate, or severe.

Position-Dependent Urinary Retention in a Traumatic Brain Injury Patient: A Case Report [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Voiding disorders are common complication after traumatic brain injury. Usually, they are caused by neurogenic bladder although they can also occur as a result of other pathologic processes and conditions as well as side effects of ...

In the article “A Prospective Diffusion Tensor Imaging Study in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury” ( Neurology ® 2010;74:643–650), Andrew Mayer and colleagues studied the effects of mild brain injury using a special kind of magnetic resonance image (MRI). The new MRI sequence is called diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).

Acute inflammatory profiles differ with sex and age after spinal cord injury
Background Sex and age are emerging as influential variables that affect spinal cord injury (SCI) recovery. Despite a changing demographic towards older age at the time of SCI, the effects of sex or age on inflammation remain to be elucidated. This study

Sedation-Induced Burst Suppression Predicts Positive Outcome Following Traumatic Brain Injury
While electroencephalogram (EEG) burst-suppression is often induced therapeutically using sedatives in the intensive care unit (ICU), there is hitherto no evidence with respect to its association to outcome in moderate-to-severe neurological patients. We

Traumatic brain injury in pedestrian–vehicle collisions: Convexity and suitability of some functionals used as injury metrics [PDF]
Background and Objective: Abrupt accelerations or decelerations can cause large strain in brain tissues and, consequently, different forms of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). In order to predict the effect of the accelerations upon the soft tissues of the
