Babcock Law Firm provides as benefit to our clients, The Traumatic Brain Injury Glossary of Terms. It includes definitions for over 200 brain injury related terms from HDI's Brain Injury Glossary.

Nasogastric Tube (NG Tube)
A tube that passes through the patient's nose and throat and ends in the patient's stomach. This tube allows for direct "tube feeding" to maintain the nutritional status of the patient or removal of stomach acids.
Neglect
Paying little or no attention to a part of the body.
Neologism
Nonsense or made-up word used when speaking. The person often does not realize that the word makes no sense.
Neuropsychologist
A psychologist who specializes in evaluating (by tests) brain/behavior relationships, planning training programs to help the survivor of brain injury return to normal functioning and recommending alternative cognitive and behavioral strategies to minimize the effects of brain injury. Often works closely with schools and employers as well as with family members of the injured person.

Many thanks to HDI publishing for allowing us to include a portion of their Brain Injury Glossary. The complete Glossary contains over 800 terms and definitions. HDI offers a range of literature on the many and varied aspects of TBI such as family issues, life care planning, sexuality, coping, prevention, and education.
