Neuropsychological correlates of self-reported impulsivity and informant-reported maladaptive behaviour among veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury history.

Findings have implications for theoretical models of aggression and violence and inform the assessment and treatment of individuals with TBI and PTSD.
