Neural correlates of memory recovery: Preliminary findings in children and adolescents with acquired brain injury.

ABSTRACT:

Background

After acquired brain injury (ABI), patients show various neurological impairments and outcome is difficult to predict. Identifying biomarkers of recovery could provide prognostic information about a patient's neural potential for recovery and improve our understanding of neural reorganization. In healthy subjects, sleep slow wave activity (SWA, EEG spectral power 1-4.5 Hz) has been linked to neuroplastic processes such as learning and brain maturation. Therefore, we suggest that SWA might be a suitable measure to investigate neural reorganization underlying memory recovery.

Objectives

In the present study, we used SWA to investigate neural correlates of recovery of function in ten paediatric patients with ABI (age range 7-15 years).

Methods

We recorded high
