Core Tip	Postconcussion syndrome (PCS) can result in long-term cognitive impairment, impacting daily function and social interactions. Despite its prevalence, effective evaluation methods for PCS-related neurocognitive dysfunction remain limited. Patients with PCS experience social dysfunction and personality changes. Mismatch negativity amplitude in the prefrontal region correlates with social dysfunction and personality changes, with smaller amplitudes indicating more severe social dysfunction and personality changes. Mismatch negativity may therefore serve as a potential indicator for assessing the symptoms of PCS.
