The effect of football (soccer) heading on gross and fine motor control in women
INTRODUCTION: Heading is an integral component of football, but concerns remain about its impact on brain health. This study examines the acute effects of heading on gross and fine motor control as a measure of the motor-cognitive function of women footballers.
Updated Review of Neurologic Concussion Biomarkers for Time-sensitive Point-of-care Testing
As traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) continue to rise annually, scientists are continuing to improve point-of-care (POC) testing, involved in TBI diagnosis. TBIs, having various levels of severity, are often misdiagnosed or overlooked, especially in acute mild TBI or concussion scenarios. At the POC, currently, medical professionals utilize neuroimaging, cognitive scales, and biomarker assays to diagnose […]
Long-Term Neuropsychological Outcome and Effect of Cognitive Reserve in Retired Athletes
CONCLUSIONS: A history of concussion is associated with lower neuropsychological performance, and this is more pronounced in individuals with lower premorbid functioning, an indicator of cognitive reserve.
Differences in Reaction Time Variability on the Senaptec Sensory Station by Concussion Status in Special Operations Forces Service Members
CONCLUSIONS: Reaction time variability as measured by IIV from the Senaptec Sensory Station's EHC subtest is somewhat sensitive to recent concussions, particularly for peripherally presented stimuli. This is consistent with past research evaluating IIV from a different computerized cognitive platform. Methodological differences between this and past investigations, such as time since injury, study population, and […]
Brain biomarker profiles vary with semi-synthetic and grain-based diets in healthy and mTBI mice
Across a range of neurological disorders, there is a growing appreciation for how the gut influences brain health, but few ways of monitoring its effects. Although nutrition influences traumatic brain injury (TBI) recovery, its influence on biomarkers-whether as an intervention or confounder-is poorly understood. Beyond specialized diets, standard rodent diets may also affect brain function. […]
