Clinical Cut Point for the Post Concussion Symptom Inventory Following Adolescent Concussion
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest a PCSI cut point of 23 can distinguish between adolescents with/without a recent concussion and may provide enhanced accuracy to identify a suspected concussion in the subacute time after injury.
Sex Differences in Severity and Recovery Following Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A Systematic Review
Background: Sex-based variations in brain structure, hormonal balance, and neurochemistry may influence symptom presentation and recovery after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). This systematic review investigated sex-related differences in mTBI severity, symptoms, and recovery outcomes across different injury mechanisms. Methods: This review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines and was registered with PROSPERO (CRD420251011379). Searches were conducted […]
Driving After Concussion: The Influence of Days Since Concussion on Simulated Driving Performance Recovery

A Prefrontal Neuromodulation Route for Post-Traumatic Olfactory Dysfunction: A Perspective Supported by Recovery During Left-DLPFC rTMS
Post-traumatic olfactory dysfunction (PTOD) is a common and often persistent sequela of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), with limited evidence-based treatment options. We propose that high-frequency rTMS applied to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) may support olfactory recovery via top-down modulation of distributed olfactory, attentional, and reward networks, and we outline key mechanistic and […]
