ABSTRACT
Slowness of information processing (SIP) is frequently reported after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Previous studies point toward a pivotal role of white matter damage on speed of information processing. However, little is known about the more comprehensive and ecological assessment of SIP in TBI. Here, we combined an ecological assessment of SIP with the use of tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) on individuals' fractional anisotropy (FA) maps. Twenty-six moderate-to-severe patients with TBI (21 males and 5 females) participated in this study 10 individuals were classified as not having SIP (SIP-) and 16 were classified as having SIP (SIP +). SIP + showed lower FA in bilateral anterior thalamic radiation, corticospinal tract, cingulum, and forceps, as well as in bilateral inferior fronto-occipital, inferior and superior longitudinal fasciculi and uncinate fasciculus. Overall, this result is consistent with and expands previous reports on information processing speed to a more comprehensive and ecological perspective on SIP in TBI.
