Study of Reserves After Traumatic Brain Injury

June 25, 2012 updated by: Sheba Medical Center

Study of Reserves After Traumatic Brain Injury:Influence of Brain, Cognitive, and Emotional Reserves on Long-Term Consequences of Traumatic Brain Injury

It is hypothesized that the long-term results of rehabilitation and subsequent aging after Brain Trauma depend on brain's premorbid anatomical (structural) and functional (cognitive, emotional) reserves.

The purpose of this study are:

  1. to determine whether such reserves exist.
  2. to study their convergent and discriminant validity.
  3. to study their characteristics.
