Understanding the effects of mild traumatic brain injury on the pupillary light reflex
Summary:
This paper investigates the pupillary light reflex in patients with mild traumatic brain injury, finding that pupillary responsivity is significantly delayed, slowed, and reduced in these patients, providing potential biomarkers for the presence of such injuries and photosensitivity.
Categories
- Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how mild traumatic brain injury can lead to problems with cognitive functions such as attention and memory.
- Patient recovery and healing: The paper suggests that understanding the pupillary light reflex in patients with mild traumatic brain injury could lead to improved patient care.
