Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy
This article focuses on neuropathologic diagnostic criteria for chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and consensus research diagnostic criteria for traumatic encephalopathy syndrome (TES). CTE as a tauopathy has a unique pattern for diagnosis and differs from other neurodegenerative diseases. We discuss the history, neuropathology, and mechanism of CTE as well as the preliminary reasearch diagnostic criteria for TES, which is the proposed clinical presentation of suspected CTE.

Community Reintegration After Traumatic Brain Injury
Achieving effective community reintegration is important to maximize recovery in patients with traumatic brain injury, simultaneously limiting caregiver burden and improving satisfaction with quality of life. Certain medical complications that are common after brain injury may impact community reintegration, and should be addressed by the physician in a systematic approach. Additionally certain social and environmental factors such as mobility or return to work or school may arise, and should be addressed proactively by the physician. Inpatient/residential or outpatient programs with case management and a multi-disciplinar...

Stroke Recovery, Rehabilitation, and Innovation
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide with an annual incidence of over 1.5 million cases. In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates approximately eight hundred thousand strokes occur annually with an expected increase in incidence due to the aging “baby-boomer” population. Over the last decade, there have been significant advancements in both the medical and surgical management of acute stroke, leading to increased survival rates. Consequently, in the United States, there are over 4 million stroke survivors, with persistent physical, cogn itive, and emotional s...

Rehabilitation Management of Disorders of Consciousness
Disorders of Consciousness (DoC) is a prolonged altered state of consciousness and is typically categorized into three broad categories: coma, vegetative state, or minimally conscious state. (Source: Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America)

Prognostication and Trajectories of Recovery in Disorders of Consciousness
Historically, there has been a pessimistic view regarding outcomes for patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC). There is a paucity of clinical diagnostic tools and prognostic protocols. Guidelines for the care of patients with DoC require behavioral observation, time, resources, and knowledge of the population. Many nonclinical factors such as patient wishes, family perception, and personal finances can indirectly influence long-term outcomes. Prognostic expectations need to be considered but we health-care professional cannot fully appreciate the decisions and influence of those decisions on the person served or on...

Structural and Functional Neuroanatomy of Core Consciousness
This article provides a primer on the structural and functional neuroanatomy of wakefulness and awareness. The neuroanatomical structures supporting these elements of core consciousness functions are reviewed first, after which brief description of the clinically evaluable relationships between disruption of these structures and disorders of consciousness (ie, brain –behavior relationships) are outlined. Consideration of neuroanatomy at the mesoscale (ie, the mesocircuit hypothesis) as well as in relation to several large-scale neural networks is offered.
