   Proposal Description:
   The overarching aim is to investigate if people with Traumatic Brain Injury       (TBI) had a faster progression to Alzheimer???s disease (AD).  The specific       research questions are,                                                           1. Do people with AD have faster progression in dementia after a TBI when         compared to people with-out TBI?                                                  2. Do people with APOe4 positive AD have faster progression in dementia after a   TBI when compared to people with APOe4 negative AD?                               3. What is the change in the brain volume and cognitive score in TBI/TBI          APOe4/Non-TBI?
