The U.S. Social Security Administration has requested the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine establish an ad hoc committee to conduct a study to review the latest published research and science and produce a report addressing the diagnosis, prognosis, recovery, and late effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in children and adults. The committee will focus its report on TBIs that cause more than a minimal impact on long-term functioning but that are not so severe as to result in a persistent vegetative state or a similar permanent, complete, and obviously observable loss of functional abilities.
