While previously it was believed that the window for brain recovery was at most one year after injury, new research from the Center for BrainHealth at The University of Texas at Dallas published online today in the open - access journal Frontiers in Neurology shows cognitive performance can be improved to
significant degrees months, and even years, after injury, given targeted brain training.

Meta - analysis of three RCTs showed
significant benefit for sweep VEP acuity at 12
months (log of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR)-RRB-(mean difference (MD)-0.15, 95 % confidence interval (CI)-0.17 to -0.13; I2 = 0; three trials; N = 244), but meta - analysis of three other RCTs showed no benefit for visual acuity measured with Teller cards at 12
months (cycles /
degree)(MD -0.01, 95 % CI -0.12 to 0.11; I2 = 0; three trials; N = 256).
After 12
months, mean symptoms scores for people in both groups had improved substantially, but there was no
significant difference in the
degree of symptom improvement between the groups.
In contrast, the IPCC climate models predicted a
significant cooling trend for the Tropics for those 83
months - an abysmal failure, represented by a 7
degree trend difference between reality and prediction.
I worked back in time from latest data, but then have
degrees of freedom increasing, but not a problem for longer series, but was looking for number of
months there had been no
significant change in temperature.
But beyond these measurement and methodological factors, the small (though
significant) relations between 1 - and 4 -
month reactivity scores (i.e., 1 -
month NNNS scores and 4 -
month IBQ Distress to Limitations ratings) suggests that there was variability in the
degree to which infants displayed stable characteristics in the domain of early reactivity.
