Averaged 22-month test-retest reliability of non-computerized baseline cognitive assessments in healthy youth athletes
CONCLUSIONS: All measures, except NEPSY-II Memory for Designs, demonstrated moderate to good test-retest reliability for both absolute and normed scores over an average 22-month interval between baseline administrations. However, clinicians should not overlook potential practice effects when interpreting a youth athlete's second baseline performance. The authors also underscore the value of examining raw data in […]
Traumatic brain injury graphing: A case study of Charles Whitman
Research has identified violent behavior (i.e., assault, murder, and suicide) as a possible sequela of moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and repeated mild TBI (rmTBI). However, misconceptions about consciousness and its ability to control an injured brain, the diverse spectrum of potential outcomes, and the role genetics/environmental factors can play make proving TBI's […]
Injury Prevention Programs in Youth Football: A Narrative Review of the FIFA 11+ and FUNBALL Programs
Football (soccer) is a dynamic sport popular among youth, but it poses risks of injuries such as ligament tears, fractures, and concussions. Injury prevention programs are essential for safeguarding young athletes' health and performance. This review evaluates two key programs: the 11+ and FUNBALL. The 11+ program is a structured warm-up designed for young female […]
Sensory driven neurophysiological mechanisms of concussion: a parsimonious and falsifiable theory
Every time a person sustains a blow to the head, they receive multiple atypical sensory inputs, often including pain. These directly stimulate the central nervous system. Yet, sensory input as a causal agent of neurophysiological dysfunction and post-concussion symptoms has never been explored. A new theory is proposed of sensory driven neurophysiological mechanisms of concussion […]
Inhibition of TRPM3 channels in the medial prefrontal cortex mitigates OCD symptoms following traumatic brain injury
Although tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) plays an important role in the development of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), the pathogenesis remains unclear. Since transient receptor potential melastatin 3 (TRPM3) channels are activated during inflammatory conditions, crosstalk with TNF-α in the progression of OCD has not been investigated yet. We hypothesize that mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) stimulates […]
