A review of brain regions and associated post-concussion symptoms
Frontiers in Neurology, 2023 The human brain is an exceptionally complex organ that is comprised of billions of neurons. Therefore, when a traumatic event such as a concussion occurs, somatic, cognitive, behavioral, and sleep impairments are the common outcome.

Specific and evolving resting-state network alterations in post-concussion syndrome following mild traumatic brain injury. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Post-concussion syndrome has been related to axonal damage in patients with mild traumatic brain injury, but little is known about the consequences of injury on brain networks. In the present study, our aim was to characterize changes in functional brain

A roadmap of brain recovery in a mouse model of concussion: insights from neuroimaging
Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2021 Concussion or mild traumatic brain injury is the most common form of traumatic brain injury with potentially long-term consequences. Current objective diagnosis and treatment options are limited to clinical assessment, cognitive rest, and symptom ...

Premature white matter microstructure in female children with a history of concussion
Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2023 Childhood concussion may interfere with neurodevelopment and influence cognition. Females are more likely to experience persistent symptoms after concussion, yet the sex-specific impact of concussion on brain microstructure in children is understudied ...

Glutamate, GABA and glutathione in adults with persistent post-concussive symptoms
NeuroImage: Clinical, 2022 Persistent post-concussive symptoms (PPCS) are debilitating and endure beyond the usual recovery period after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Altered neurotransmission, impaired energy metabolism and oxidative stress have been examined acutely post ...
