   Proposal Description:
   1. To determine systematically the cognitive deficits associated with different   severities of traumatic brain injuries and to distinguish AD clinical             presentation definitively from CTE presentation.                                  2. To understand the neurophysiological presentation between severity of TBIs     and to determine levels of cognitive dysfunction based on neuropsychological      assessment data.                                                                  The overall goal of this project is to show that single acute traumatic brain     injuries as compared to other types of traumatic brain injuries lead to           significant declines in cognitive function. The study also seeks to determine     how early onset cognitive indicators of AD may be correlated/misdiagnosed as      other forms of neurocognitive deficits.
