With more than 2.8 million occurring annually, traumatic brain injuries are one of the most pressing challenges facing the medical community. Survivors of TBI often experience chronic psychiatric symptoms such as increased risky decision-making and impulsivity, yet there are not treatments available. Researchers at West Virginia University are working to find solutions to help these patients improve their everyday quality of life.
