Memory in repeat sports-related concussive injury and single-impact traumatic brain injury.

Repeat sports-related concussive/subconcussive injury (RC/SCI) is related to memory impairment. : We sought to determine memory differences between persons with RC/SCI, moderate-to-severe single-impact traumatic brain injury (SI-TBI), and healthy controls. MRI scans from a subsample of participants with SI-TBI were used to identify the neuroanatomical correlates of observed memory process differences between the brain injury groups.

Recent cocaine use and memory impairment in HIV.

Both Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and cocaine use have been associated with impairment in neuropsychological functioning. The high comorbidity between HIV and cocaine use highlights the importance of ascertaining whether there is a compounding effect of cocaine use in individuals with HIV. Among neuropsychological domains impacted by HIV, verbal memory deficits have received substantial attention partly because they have been associated with declines in functional status in HIV positive individuals.
