Disease Description:

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when sudden trauma causes damage to the brain. TBI often results in difficulties in learning and performing movements and tasks. Symptoms can be mild, moderate or severe. The research focuses on understanding TBI and developing strategies for experimental treatment of problems with skilled movements.
