  Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is caused by an external mechanical force. The most common causes of TBI are car crash, falls, assaults and thefts and accidents during recreational activity. The acceleration-deceleration mechanism responsible for DAI, often damage the lateral and ventral regions of the frontal and temporal lobes. Deficits in attention and memory, difficulty in learning new information, solving problems and planning are common sequelae. Impulsivity and lack of self-control are also common after a TBI. Our goal was to correlate functional changes obtained in the electroencephalogram (EEG) with the cognitive decline in diffuse axonal injury (DAI) and understand the pathophysiology of this injury. Ten patients with diffuse axonal lesion and 5 control subjects were recruited by the Group of Cognitive Rehabilitation after TBI in the Division of Neurology, Clinics Hospital, Fac.. Read More»
