MISTIC-Multi-Imaging Study of TBI in Children

Description: The evaluation of outcomes following pediatric-TBI in the still maturing brain poses a major challenge to the research in this field. This study offers a unique multimodality approach using brain structural and functional imaging, together with cognitive assessment to predict longitudinal changes in brain plasticity and cognitive performance following pediatric-TBI. Our major aim is to test a developmental model postulating the joint contribution of injury severity, age at injury and time since injury on different phases of child’s recovery following TBI.
