Sequelae Core

Preclinical and clinical evaluation of long-term deficits and risk of subsequent complications as a result of brain injury as well as optimization of management strategies. This core’s goal is to better understand pathophysiology, allowing for the development of new interventions that minimize or slow sequelae.
