Examining Moderators of Cognitive Recovery Trajectories After Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

Younger age is a good predictor of better executive function after surgery for pituitary adenoma in adults

“…Our results are in agreement with previous studies in adults indicating that a younger age at the time of insult is a favorable recovery factor after brain injury (Green et al, 2008 ;Testa et al, 2005 ;Willemse-van Son et al, 2007 ;Wilson, 1998 ). The reasons for the favorable effect of younger age in adults on neurocognitive outcome after traumatic brain injuries in previous studies and after surgery for pituitary adenoma in our study could be explained by two mechanisms.…”

Factors associated with remission of post-traumatic brain injury fatigue in the years following traumatic brain injury (TBI): a TBI model systems module study

“…This mirrors what is often observed in TBI recovery where accelerated recovery may be noted in the acute phase of rehabilitation with additional change being more asymptotic or at a slower rate [40,41]. In addition, the relationship between fatigue and life satisfaction or functional independence found in cross-sectional studies were not found when looking at fatigue resolution over time.…”

Lack of long-term fMRI differences after multiple sports-related concussions

“…It collected subjects using convenience sampling methods from a single geographic location, possibly limiting the generalizability of findings. All participants were current university students from a baccalaureate university setting, which may also affect the findings, as higher estimated pre-morbid intellectual functioning is associated with higher functioning on a variety of cognitive outcomes post-brain injury [77]. Therefore, these findings may not be representative of all concussive injuries due to the sampling methods.…”
