Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a diverse spectrum of disease with long-lasting chronic effects, no TBI is the same.

The Neurology Traumatic Brain Injury & Concussion (NTBIC) program at UCI represents a rapidly growing multidisciplinary program with broad forward-thinking initiatives in clinical care, education and research.

A key theme of the NTBIC research program is to better understand the factors which differentiate TBI clinical presentations, recovery and patient experience both short and long-term.
