Emotional distress in children when a parent has had a severe brain injury
New research has found that children show signs of emotional suffering when a parent has sustained a brain injury, which is often underestimated by the parent. The authors call for early interventions to be aimed at both children and parents to investigate the emotional and behavioural impact on children during the first period of adjustment.

New research shows promising results for communication with patients in locked-in states
New research has indicated that locked-in patients with a form of motor neurone disease may be able to communicate using a scientific method that highlights areas of activity in the brain called functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS).

Research demonstrates benefit of visuomotor feedback training on hemineglect
New research shows that a simple task involving picking up rods can significantly improve performance on activities of daily living in patients with hemispatial neglect following stroke, through a technique called ‘visuomotor feedback training’.
