Mild traumatic brain injury from primary blast vs. blunt forces: post-concussion consequences and functional neuroimaging.
Primary blast forces may cause dysfunction from mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). ⋯ This pilot study suggests that pure blast force mTBI may have greater post-concussive sequelae including deficits in attentional control and regional brain metabolism, compared to blunt mTBI. A disturbance of a right parietal-frontal attentional network is one potential explanation for these findings.

Case ReportsRecovery of injured cingulum in a patient with brain injury: diffusion tensor tractography study.
Little is known about neural recovery of an injured cingulum following brain injury. We report on a patient with brain injury who showed apparent neural recovery of an injured cingulum on follow up diffusion tensor tractography (DTT). ⋯ These changes observed on DTT in both cingulums appeared to indicate recovery of the injured cingulum in this patient. The results of this study may suggest a mechanism for recovery of injured cingulum following brain injury.
