While Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) have been described as the "signature wound" of the current American military, brain injuries have occurred for as long as humans have been on the planet. While some head injuries can be severely disfiguring and produce massive physical and psychological deficits, some TBIs are more subtle and can go undetected and/or untreated. This course discusses and analyzes the effects of more subtle TBI caused by prenatal teratogens (e.g., fetal alcohol syndrome) and postnatal toxic events (e.g., seizures), anchoring these deficits in the basic psychophysiology of the brain. Assessment methods and tools for detecting brain dysfunction are discussed and sample case data are presented to illustrate diagnostic patterns. Lastly, the clinical implications of these injuries are reviewed across several relevant contexts.
