Abstract
Investigations of cognitive recovery from traumatic brain injury have utilized experimental cognitive tasks, including measures of executive function and discourse processing, to elucidate specific sequelae. The scope of research, which includes brain imaging and pharmacologic intervention, could potentially enhance rehabilitation of patients with brain injury.
