Structural connectomes in traumatic brain injury: Can secondary disease progression be stopped and cognitive deficits be reversed? [ 2018 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Karen Caeyenberghs (Principal investigator)

Brief description Many people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) experience cognitive problems, including poor memory and concentration. TBI is often referred to as a ‘hidden disability’ because the overwhelming majority of patients with TBI show no abnormalities on standard MRI or CT scans. In my project, I will delineate the mechanisms of secondary injury in finer detail through enhanced neuroimaging techniques, resulting in new assessment and treatment modalities for individuals with TBI.
