Restoration of Brain Function Following Trauma

Abstract

The Restoration of Brain Function Following Trauma program exploited recent advances in the understanding and modeling of brain activity and organization to develop approaches to treat traumatic brain injury (TBI). Critical to success was the ability to detect and quantify functional changes that occur in the human brain during the formation of distinct new memories, and to correlate those changes with subsequent recall of those memories during performance of behavioral tasks. This program also developed neural interface hardware for monitoring and modulating neural activity responsible for successful memory formation in a human clinical population. The ultimate goal was identification of efficacious therapeutic approaches that could bypass and/or recover the neural functions underlying memory, which are often disrupted as a consequence of TBI.
