ABSTRACT

After craniocerebral injury, there are various sequelae such as motor disorder, sensory disorder, and cognitive impairment, and it has been found that there is a strong link between the treat mechanism and emotional and cognitive disorders after craniocerebral injury. Reward mechanisms include incentives and stimulation in various ways, and the results of related studies on reward mechanisms show their importance in neurorehabilitation and foretell a broad prospect for future research. In this paper, the correlation between affective and cognitive disorders after craniocerebral injury and the reward mechanism, as well as the main modes of action of the reward mechanism, are described, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the rehabilitation treatment after craniocerebral injury. 

KEYWORDS
