The BISCUIT Study: Sleep, Cognition and Wellbeing in Childhood Brain Injury

School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences

Following a traumatic brain injury, some children recover quickly, while others experience longer-lasting difficulties with areas such as attention, memory and behaviour. Researchers still do not fully understand why recovery of these skills varies between children, what role sleep difficulties play in this process, or how best to support children and families following injury.
