Cognitive fatigue in individuals with traumatic brain injury is associated with caudate activation

Abstract We investigated differences in brain activation associated with cognitive fatigue between persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and healthy controls (HCs). Twenty-two participants with moderate-severe TBI and 20 HCs performed four blocks of a difficult working memory task and four block...
