This volume presents the proceedings of the 1978 Brain Impairment Workshop, focusing on the latest research and discussions surrounding the causes, effects, and potential treatments of brain impairment. The authors, leading researchers in the field, compile a collection of papers that explore various aspects of neurological dysfunction, drawing on data from the time to advance understanding of brain injuries and diseases.

This collection of proceedings offers a snapshot of brain impairment research as understood in 1978. The technical nature of workshop papers suggests a readership of specialists, researchers, and medical professionals seeking historical context or specific data from that era. The value lies in its documentation of scientific discourse and findings from a particular point in the development of neuroscience.
