Mapping variation in brain structure and function: implications for rehabilitation

J Head Trauma Rehabil. 1999 Dec;14(6):616-21. doi: 10.1097/00001199-199912000-00010.

Abstract

The recognition of structural and functional variability of the human brain promoted the development of a system to organize and analyze the rapidly growing body of knowledge acquired among diverse disciplines. The Human Brain Project (HBP) was initiated and has evolved as a means of establishing an information infrastructure through tools related to the emerging science of neuroinformatics. This article will briefly describe the implications that such an endeavor has for the field of traumatic brain injury (TBI) rehabilitation.
