Excerpt

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) presents significant challenges in both clinical and research settings due to its complexity and heterogeneity (Bouchard et al., 2022; Dennis et al., 2022; Goh et al., 2014). Many of these challenges stem from the wide variety of injury mechanisms, severities, and resulting neurological effects, most of which lead to unique difficulties during data analysis. Clinically, TBI can range from mild TBIs to severe brain trauma, each manifesting differently across patients in terms of symptoms, cognitive impairments, and recovery trajectories (Lizhnyak & Ottens, 2015; Rostowsky et al., 2021). Research efforts are further complicated by the variability of injury locations, diffuse versus focal damage, and secondary injuries prompted by inflammation and swelling, all of which contribute to highly individualized patient outcomes. Neuroinformatics plays a crucial role in addressing these challenges by enabling the integration and analysis of multimodal data from neuroimaging, electrophysiology, and genomics (Irimia et al., 2013). Through advanced computational methods, neuroinformatics can help to uncover patterns in these complex datasets. This facilitates the development of predictive models and individualized therapeutic strategies which drive more precise diagnoses and interventions for TBI patients (Dennis et al., 2017, 2023). …
