Abstract: Describes morphological characteristics of groups with moderate to severe closed-head traumatic brain injury (TBI) from quantitative magnetic resonance imaging in Salt Lake City, Utah. Enlargement of temporal horn compartments among TBI group with intelligence quotient less than 90; Association of lower psychometric intelligence post-injury with temporal lobe atrophy.
