Traumatic brain injury can lead to a variety of cognitive dysfunctions from memory to decision making impairment. The neural underpinning of decision making impairment following trauma and the pattern of the change in the decision making depends on several factors including neuroanatomy of the injury, severity of the trauma, age of the injury, and comorbid impairments in other cognitive processes. Deficits in social decision making, altruistic judgment and moral decision making (both intentional and unintentional) are all seen in traumatic brain injury. In this part of the panel we will talk more about the impact of trauma on different aspects of decision making.
