Lack of long-term fMRI differences after multiple sports-related concussions.
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) or concussion has been acutely associated with several cognitive symptoms, including deficits in response inhibition, working memory and motor performance. The pervasiveness of these cognitive symptoms has been more controversial. The effects of multiple concussions on neuropsychological functioning and brain activation following at least 6-months post-mTBI were examined. ⋯ There were minimal differences between the two closely matched groups. Results point to the relative plasticity of younger adults' cognitive abilities following concussion.

A 10-year follow-up study of patients with severe traumatic brain injury and dysautonomia treated with intrathecal baclofen therapy.
To describe the long-term disorders of consciousness in patients with dysautonomia and hypertonia treated with intrathecal baclofen therapy (IBT). ⋯ Recovery of good long-term consciousness is possible. A low level of consciousness recovery and the early development of severe and persistent symptoms of dysautonomia associated with hypertonia could be linked to poor long-term outcome.
