Abstract:
Traumatic brain injuries are increasingly common in older adults and represent a substantial source of morbidity and mortality for this population. In addition to the impact from the primary insult, TBI can lead to a variety of chronic neurocognitive conditions including dementia, depression, and sleep disturbances. When caused by TBI, these conditions differ importantly from their non-TBI-related counterparts. Much about how TBI relates to the development of these conditions is unknown, and more research is needed to further elucidate optimal treatment strategies.
