Abstract

The brain is the control centre of the human body. Injury to the brain can have diverse and disabling effects. Yet there remain important unanswered questions for clinicians, those affected and their families. This special collection aims to advance understanding of how we can better diagnose, treat and support those affected by brain injury across the severity spectrum.
