Soccer heading and concussion are not associated with reduced brain volume or cortical thickness.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Soccer is the most popular sport in the world and, since it is a contact sport, players are at risk for head injury, including concussion. Here, we proposed to investigate the association of heading and concussion with macroscopic brain structure among ...

Diffusion tensor tractography characteristics of axonal injury in concussion/mild traumatic brain injury

Neural Regeneration Research, 2022
The main advantage of diffusion tensor tractography is that it allows the entire neural tract to be evaluated. In addition, configurational analysis of reconstructed neural tracts can indicate abnormalities such as tearing, narrowing, or discontinuations,

Linked MRI signatures of the brain's acute and persistent response to concussion in female varsity rugby players

NeuroImage: Clinical, 2019
Acute brain changes are expected after concussion, yet there is growing evidence of persistent abnormalities well beyond clinical recovery and clearance to return to play.

Sex & gender considerations in concussion research

Concussion, 2018
The study of concussion, a common form of mild traumatic brain injury, has received increased notice over the last decade. Recently, more researchers have been addressing the historic paucity of attention over sex and gender influences on recovery ...

Electrophysiological testing in concussion: A guide to clinical applications [PDF]

, 2018
The diagnosis of mild traumatic brain injury in concussion is difficult since it is often unwitnessed, the patient’s recall is unreliable and initial clinical examination is often unrevealing, correlating poorly with the extent of brain injury.

A prospective pilot investigation of brain volume, white matter hyperintensities and haemorrhagic lesions after mild traumatic brain injury

Frontiers in Neurology, 2016
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is among the most common neurological disorders. Haemorrhagic lesions and white matter hyperintensities (WMH) are radiological features associated with moderate and severe traumatic brain injury TBI.
