Summary
The ability to regulate impulses enables us to plan for the future, to maintain focus in the
face of distractions (i.e. to encode memories), and to manage emotions. This self regulation
can be compromised in individuals who have a history of mild traumatic brain injury and
co-occurring disorders. In this study the investigators are using functional MRI scanning to
understand how memory and self regulation are expressed in the brains of people with a
history of mild traumatic brain injury. The investigators are also testing whether the
medication tolcapone may improve memory and self regulation.
