The author describes the clinical challenges in treating individuals with traumatic brain injury, typical patterns in patient behavior and symptoms, and pragmatic treatment strategies. Neurofeedback retraining of brain activation patterns can mitigate many of the cognitive deficits in traumatic brain injury.
