Hi Ping,

>> had larger slope (trajectory) than the complicatedmTBI group between TP2 and TP1?

It compares the control group's TP2 - TP1 to the complicatedmTBI group's TP2 - TP1. You may want to add a few contrasts to help you tease it apart:

-gltCode TP2-TP1-controls 'Group : 1*control TimePoint : 1*TP2 -1*TP1' \
-gltCode TP2-TP1-ComplicatedmTBI 'Group : 1*complicatedmTBI TimePoint : 1*TP2 -1*TP1' \
-gltCode TP1controls-ComplicatedmTBI 'Group : 1*control -1*complicatedmTBI TimePoint : 1*TP1' \
-gltCode TP2controls-ComplicatedmTBI 'Group : 1*control -1*complicatedmTBI TimePoint : 1*TP2' \

>> "Group : 1*control -1*complicatedmTBI & 1*control -1*uncomplicatedmTBI & 1*control -1*modsevere TimePoint : 1*TP1'"
>> was the F value of the TP1 main effect of the control group?

Yes, it gives you the statistical evidence for the differences across the four groups at time point TP1.
