Understanding “Internal Fake News”: The Link Between Concussion, Sensory Alterations, and Emotional Health

Concussions and post-concussion symptoms significantly impact the brain’s ability to process and integrate sensory information, leading to a phenomenon termed “internal fake news.” This occurs when altered sensory perceptions distort internal models, affecting decision-making and leading to a cascade of negative consequences including chronic stress, anxiety, and depression.

Disruptions in this process, commonly seen in concussion patients, result in a vicious cycle of emotional disturbances. Early intervention and a multidisciplinary approach are essential for mitigating these effects and supporting recovery.
