Predicting Posttraumatic Epilepsy in Penetrating Head Injury
TL;DR: Using data derived from a 15-year follow-up study of 520 veterans surviving penetrating brain wounds received in the Vietnam war, a predictive formula and tables for posttraumatic epilepsy based on time elapsed postinjury and presence of specific clinical and computed tomographic scan risk factors are developed.

The relationship of brain-tissue loss volume and lesion location to cognitive deficit.
TL;DR: It is found that preinjury intelligence predicted a significant amount of the variance on postinjury cognitive testing, being a better predictor for tests requiring a number of complementary cognitive processes than for tests measuring a specific cognitive process.

TL;DR: Among 342 men who survived severe penetrating brain wounds, only 15% had prolonged unconsciousness and 53% had no or momentary unconsciousness after injury, emphasizing the focal nature of these wounds.

Isolated impairment of memory following a penetrating lesion of the fornix cerebri.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the fornix cerebri has a role in the maintenance of information accessibility to both encoding and recall during post-working memory processing and in the organization of verbal information during encoding and/or retrieval for declarative (recall) purposes.

TL;DR: Somatosensory evoked potentials obtained after median nerve stimulation in 500 Vietnam veterans surviving penetrating head wounds 12-16 years earlier and 76 age-matched, uninjured controls showed correlations with the extent of total brain volume loss, sensory deficits, hemiparesis, organic mental disorder, CT evidence of parietal or thalamic injury, and centro-parietal EEG abnormalities.
