CLINICAL SCENARIO: There are two primary approaches to cognitive rehabilitation for adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI), the remedial approach (deficit-specific skills training such as table-top activities and repetitive drills) and the adaptive or compensatory approach (adapting tasks, routines and environments). A primary goal of occupational therapy (OT) in cognitive rehabilitation is t...

Needs re-write) We describe a cognitive rehabilitation system developed at the University of Central Florida that allows therapists to explore cuing, contextualization, and theoretical aspects of cognitive retraining, including transfer of training. The Human Experience Modeler (HEM) mixed reality environment allows for a contextualized learning experience with the advantages of controlled stim...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is involved in neuronal survival, synaptic plasticity, learning and memory, and neuroplasticity. Further, exogenous treatment with BDNF or exposing animals to enrichment and exercise regimens, which also increase BDNF, enhances behavioral recovery after brain injury. Thus, the beneficial effects of rehabilitation in promoting recov...

introduction: previous studies have demonstrated that the &beta-adrenergic; receptor antagonist propranolol impairs fear memory reconsolidation in experimental animals. there are experimental parameters such as the age and the strength of memory that can interact with pharmacological manipulations of memory reconsolidation. in this study, we investigated the ability of the age and the strength ...
