A Novel EEG Based Spectral Analysis of Persistent Brain Function Alteration in Athletes with Concussion History [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 The neurocognitive sequelae of a sport-related concussion and its management are poorly defined. Detecting deficits are vital in making a decision about the treatment plan as it can persist one year or more following a brain injury.

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

Sex differences in acute and long‐term brain recovery after concussion
Human Brain Mapping, 2021 Concussion is associated with acute disturbances in brain function and behavior, with potential long‐term effects on brain health. However, it is presently unclear whether there are sex differences in acute and long‐term brain recovery.

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 ...

Anesthesia for the patient with a recently diagnosed concussion: think about the brain! [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2020 Some patients require emergent, urgent, or elective surgery in the time period immediately following diagnosis of concussion. However, changes in brain homeostatic mechanisms following a concussion and concern for secondary brain injury can complicate ...

Predicting Concussion Outcome by Integrating Finite Element Modeling and Network Analysis
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020 Concussion is a significant public health problem affecting 1.6–2.4 million Americans annually. An alternative to reducing the burden of concussion is to reduce its incidence with improved protective equipment and injury mitigation systems.
