Sebastian Balart Sanchez

Sebastian Balart Sanchez is a researcher at the University of Groningen, affiliated with the University Medical Center Groningen, Department of Neurology. His work focuses on mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in older adults, examining the role of cognitive reserve in recovery outcomes using ERP (event-related potential) studies.

• Primary Research Areas: Traumatic Brain Injury, Cognitive Reserve, Aging, Working Memory, Neurotrauma
• Methodology: ERP, Neuropsychological Assessment, Longitudinal Studies
• Collaborators: Dr. Mariana Bittencourt, Prof. Dr. Johanna van der Naalt, Prof. Dr. Natasha Maurits

Recent publications analyze how cognitive reserve influences selective visual attentional processing (2025), working memory deficits (2024), and early predictors of recovery (2024). His work reveals critical links between neural plasticity, frailty, and sex differences in post-mTBI outcomes for older adults. Key sub-fields include ERP, Mild Traumatic Brain Injury, Aging, and Neurotrauma.
