The concepts or cognitive and brain reserves as well as brain maintenance, and the potential of preserving cognitive functioning in a lifetime perspective will round up the conference.
The Canadian Traumatic Brain Injury Research Consortium (CTRC) and Brain Injury Canada just released a national report on the need to recognize moderate to severe TBI as a chronic condition.

Brain-injured individuals can lose their identity, relationships, jobs, financial and emotional security, and independence-- if they survive.
