Retraining Dorsal Visual Pathways Improves Cognitive Skills After a Mild Traumatic Brain Injury.

ABSTRACT: Background and Objectives: Currently, there are no proven solutions to remediate cognitive deficits in people with a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). One common issue is visual timing deficits, which may be due to processing deficits in dorsal visual pathways. Methods: This study investigates whether a new intervention (PATH) aimed at improving these visual timing deficits is more effective than conventional cognitive therapies that either remediate: (1) pattern discrimination deficits (ventral visual pathway): Orientation Discrimination (OD), or (2) working memory deficits using ReCollect task, for 10 subjects between the ages of 26-60 years old. This study tests the ability of three different cognitive therapies to improve the primary outcome: visual workin
