TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY AND THE EFFECTS ON ONE'S SENSE OF "SELF"
“What gives us our sense of “self”?
Working with people who have suffered severe TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY, scientists are beginning to learn that the sense of “self” we all have is based in several different areas of the brain. People who suffer TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY in vehicular collisions, construction site falls and as a result of trauma during childhood often have difficulty after suffering the injury with maintaining ongoing relationships with family members and those closest to them. Many times they will not even recognize people that they knew on an intimate basis before their brain injury, and as a result, have a great deal of difficulty maintaining key relationships in their lives. Scientists are now learning by advanced brain imaging techniques as stated by Dr. Todd Feinberg of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine that “there is no single identity spot in the brain”. Rather, many areas of the brain work together to help all of us maintain our sense of self and our sense of the identify of others. This research will hopefully lead to successful treatment for survivors of TBI who have suffered brain damage and as a result are unsure about who they are and are also unsure about the identify of spouses, partners and family members.
In Indian two medical centers that provide excellent treatment for victims of TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY that result from an auto collision in Indiana, a construction site fall in Indiana or a pediatric / child brain injury / birth injury in Indiana are: Hooks Rehabilitation Center in Indianapolis and the Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana or RHI.
The Law firm of DOEHRMAN CHAMBERLAIN and Tom Doehrman have an established working relationship with health care providers employed by both facilities in the hope of improving the quality of life not only for the victim of a traumatic brain injury but also the family members dealing with traumatic brain injury in the state of Indiana.
