A Systematic Review of Peer-Reviewed Studies on Preventing Sport-Related Concussion (SRC) in Adult Football (Soccer): Mapping Sparce Evidence of Rule Changes and Head-Neck Training
Current Understanding of SRC Prevention Understanding the prevention of sport-related concussions (SRC) in adult football (soccer) has evolved significantly over recent years, reflecting both advances in medical science and an increased awareness of the long-term consequences of these injuries. SRC can occur as a result of direct impacts to the head or indirect forces transmitted… Read more: A Systematic Review of Peer-Reviewed Studies on Preventing Sport-Related Concussion (SRC) in Adult Football (Soccer): Mapping Sparce Evidence of Rule Changes and Head-Neck Training
Neuronal p38a knockout protects against neurological consequences following repetitive mild traumatic brain injury
Study Overview This research investigates the protective role of a specific genetic alteration, the knockout of the p38a gene, against the deleterious effects commonly associated with repetitive mild traumatic brain injuries ( rmTBI). These injuries, prevalent in various contexts such as sports and military environments, have been linked to long-term neurological impairments, including cognitive deficits… Read more: Neuronal p38a knockout protects against neurological consequences following repetitive mild traumatic brain injury
Male mice are particularly vulnerable to cognitive impairment following mTBI
Cognitive Vulnerability in Male Mice Research has demonstrated that male mice exhibit an increased susceptibility to cognitive deficits following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). This vulnerability is particularly concerning given the growing recognition of mTBI’s long-term impact on cognitive function. Various studies have outlined the mechanisms underlying this heightened risk, indicating that biological and hormonal… Read more: Male mice are particularly vulnerable to cognitive impairment following mTBI
Longitudinal Management of Post-traumatic Brain Injury Bipolar-Spectrum Disorder With Low-Dose Oral Glutamatergic Augmentation: Extended Follow-Up Revealing Induction, Overshoot, Stabilization, and Transition to PRN Maintenance
Study Overview This investigation focuses on the comprehensive management of bipolar-spectrum disorder that arises following a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The study is particularly notable for its longitudinal design, providing extended follow-up data that illuminate the nuanced progression of symptoms and treatment responses over time. Participants included individuals diagnosed with post-traumatic brain injury bipolar-spectrum disorder,… Read more: Longitudinal Management of Post-traumatic Brain Injury Bipolar-Spectrum Disorder With Low-Dose Oral Glutamatergic Augmentation: Extended Follow-Up Revealing Induction, Overshoot, Stabilization, and Transition to PRN Maintenance
Ceftriaxone has a similar effect on astrocytic and neuronal GLT-1 distribution after mild traumatic brain injury
Study Overview The research investigates the effects of Ceftriaxone, an antibiotic known for its potential neuroprotective properties, on the distribution of GLT-1 (Glutamate Transporter-1) in both astrocytes and neurons following a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). Traumatic brain injuries often lead to disruptions in glutamate homeostasis in the brain, which can result in excitotoxicity and… Read more: Ceftriaxone has a similar effect on astrocytic and neuronal GLT-1 distribution after mild traumatic brain injury

A Systematic Review of Peer-Reviewed Studies on Preventing Sport-Related Concussion (SRC) in Adult Football (Soccer): Mapping Sparce Evidence of Rule Changes and Head-Neck Training
Background/Objectives: Acute health impacts and longer-term sequelae of sport-related concussion (SRC) are recognized concerns in football (soccer), warranting investigation of interventions to reduce the incidence. The purpose of this study was to identify, synthesize and evaluate interventions used in preventing sport-related concussion (SRC) in adult soccer players. Methods: Five databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, SPORTDiscus, PsycINFO) […]
Advancing biomarker development for chronic traumatic encephalopathy: Summary and recommendations from the 2025 Leon Thal Summit
The 2025 Leon Thal Summit convened an international panel of clinicians, neuroscientists, neuropathologists, and neuroimaging specialists to evaluate the current state of biomarker development for chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and to outline priorities for advancing translational research for this important area. Discussions integrated emerging findings from longitudinal cohorts, new molecular and neuroimaging approaches, expanding post […]
Male mice are particularly vulnerable to cognitive impairment following mTBI
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) result from impact to or rapid displacement of the brain and can lead to various neurological deficits involving working memory, decision-making, and anxiety. While large-scale effects of brain damage are well-described for more severe TBIs, less is known about the extent and duration of cognitive deficits at the mild level. Interval […]
Neuronal p38a knockout protects against neurological consequences following repetitive mild traumatic brain injury
Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) can substantially impact quality of life, and repetitive mTBIs (rmTBI) can amplify injury effects compared to a single injury. However, effective clinical treatments remain elusive, largely due to an incomplete understanding of the underlying injury mechanisms. Neuroinflammation has emerged as a key contributor to worse functional outcomes after mTBI/rmTBI. While […]
Longitudinal Management of Post-traumatic Brain Injury Bipolar-Spectrum Disorder With Low-Dose Oral Glutamatergic Augmentation: Extended Follow-Up Revealing Induction, Overshoot, Stabilization, and Transition to PRN Maintenance
Bipolar-spectrum illness emerging after traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be difficult to treat and may present with mixed or agitated depressive features that appear sensitive to glutamatergic modulation. In post-TBI cases, diagnostic certainty is often limited because irritability, impulsivity, sleep disturbance, affective lability, and cognitive change may overlap with frontal-limbic injury syndromes. This case is, […]
