ABSTRACT
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) involves an unpredictable and wide array of neurologic structures. The clinician is faced with a tremendous variety of clinical presentations as a result. Advances in neuroscience have been considerable during the past two decades, and knowledge of neurologic anatomy and physiology has improved tremendously. Knowledge of the basic anatomy and physiology of the brain is important for understanding behavioral manifestations following injury at a minimum. That same knowledge should be integral to theoretical constructs and rationales for the development of treatment approaches for cognitive dysfunction following TBI.
