| Research Abstract |
In the two types of traumatic brain injury, focal brain injuries, especially in the orbitofrontal cortex, was found to lead to the dysfunction of the cognition of the facial expression of others, which resulted in the deficit in social cognition. In the diffuse axonal injuries, it became clear that volume reduction tended to be found in some particular brain regions, including not only central structures such as anterior cingulate cortex and thalamus but also insular cortex in the gray matter, and splenium of corpus callosum in the white matter. As to the characteristics in cognitive dysfunction, those with diffuse axonal injury showed significantly lower ability in processing speed found in the trail making test and in the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale. Concerning to the psychiatric symptoms like apathy, there was no significant differences between the two groups.
