Purpose: To identify behavioral and brain mechanisms of recovery of mental functioning following Traumatic Brain Injury in children. This study focuses on cognitive functions such as learning, memory and planning that are frequently impaired shortly after a moderate to severe TBI.

Measures: The study involves the participation of parents as well as the child. The child will be studied during two sessions, including behavioral exams, psychiatric exams and brain imaging. The first session will take place within 8 weeks after the TBI and the second session one year after the TBI.

Compensation: Your child will receive up to $325 if he/she completes the study.
