The medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology has published an article that found that people with more years of education may be better able to recover from a traumatic brain injury. Those with an education equal to a college degree were more than seven times more likely to fully recover from their injury than people who did not finish high school.

The cognitive reserve theory is that people with more education have a greater cognitive reserve, or the brain's ability to maintain function in spite of damage. The concept has emerged for brain disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, where people with higher levels of education have been shown to have fewer symptoms of the disease than people with less education, even when they have the same amount of damage in the brain from the disease.
