INCOG 2.0 Guidelines for Cognitive Rehabilitation Following Traumatic Brain Injury, Part II: Attention and Information Processing Speed (2023)

April 1, 2023 by Ashley Zhinin.
Attention is a complex and necessary skill needed for alertness, selective attention, processing speed, sustained attention, shifting attention needed for divided attention, and working memory. A TBI can disrupt the neurotransmitter pathways in the frontotemporal and midbrain reticular systems needed for attention. For people with moderate to severe TBI, 60% of them reported attentional difficulties […]
