  1. 1. Traumatic brain injury and its impact on working memory : A systematic review

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Li Hallgren; Naema Adani Mohammed; [2023]
    Keywords : Traumatic brain injury; working memory; prefrontal cortex; functional magnetic resonance imaging; transcranial direct current stimulation;

    Abstract : The purpose of this systematic review is to provide insight into the impact traumatic brain injury (TBI) has on the executive function known as the working memory. TBI is a damage to the brain that occurs when the brain is critically injured to the degree that it impacts several brain regions and functions such as the hippocampus, its surrounding areas, the prefrontal cortex, and the performance of the working memory ability.
