The Traumatic Brain Injury exhibit examines the causes, mechanism, symptoms, and treatment of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). There is a special focus on two common causes of TBI – military and sports injuries – as well as the most common type, mild TBI. The exhibit also features interactive elements that allow visitors to learn about normal brain anatomy and traumatic brain injuries.

NMHM Chicago is proud to partner with ADA 25 Chicago in recognition of

the 25th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act with this exhibit.
