title: Neuropsychological consequences of traumatic brain injury in children and adolescents.
abstract: The study of the relationship between neuroscientific information and cognitive function and dysfunction is clearly a widely expanding field. In particular, there has been a growing body of research on traumatic brain injury (TBI) in children and adolescents. This article conveys recent findings concerning cognitive outcomes, with a particular focus on age differences with TBI, suggests a relationship between specific learning disorders and brain dysfunction, addresses differential hemisphere functioning with TBI, and alludes to recent developments in assessment of TBI.
