How Inhibition Relates to Impulsivity after Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury
Open accessAbstract
Impulsive behaviors and poor inhibition performances are frequently described in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, few studies have examined impulsivity and associated inhibition impairments in these patients. Twenty-eight patients with moderate to severe TBI and 27 matched controls performed a stop-signal task designed to assess prepotent response inhibition (the ability to inhibit a dominant or automatic motor response) in a neutral or emotional context and a recent negative task to assess resistance to proactive interference (the ability to resist the intrusion into memory of information that was previously relevant but has since become irrelevant). Informants of each patient completed a short questionnaire designed to assess impulsivity. Patients showed a significant increase in current urgency, lack of premeditation, and lack of perseverance when retrospectively compared with the preinjury condition. Group comparisons revealed poorer prepotent response inhibition and resistance to proactive interference performances in patients with TBI. Finally, correlation analyses revealed a significant positive correlation between urgency (the tendency to act rashly when distressed) and prepotent response inhibition in patients with TBI. This study sheds new light on the construct of impulsivity after a TBI, its related cognitive mechanisms, and its potential role in problematic behaviors described after a TBI. (JINS, 2013,19, 1–9)

Negative urgency impulsivity is particularly prevalent in the mTBI veteran population.
“A form of behavioral impulsivity, negative urgency impulsivity, is particularly prevalent in this population [38].”
From Frontal Pole Neuromodulation for Impulsivity and Suicidality in Veterans With Mild Traumatic Brain Injury and Common Co-Occurring Mental Health Conditions: Protocol for a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial (2024) · cites this paper as [38]
The indexed passage under the 2013 Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society entry reports increased urgency after injury in 28 patients with moderate-to-severe TBI. It does not establish that negative urgency is particularly prevalent among veterans with mild TBI; neither that population nor a prevalence estimate is reported. (LLM, conf=0.87)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredImpulsivity is associated with TBI of all severities.
“Impulsivity is associated with TBI of all severities [16,37,38].”

The indexed passage for the 2013 paper (Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society, 19(8), pp. 890–898) reports increased impulsivity measures after TBI in patients with moderate to severe injuries. It does not establish the association for TBI of all severities, including mild TBI. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
