A newly developed reparative hydrogel, which researchers are dubbing "brain glue", protects against loss of brain tissue following a TBI and can aid in functional neural repair.
Researchers provide an alternative formula to predict when cavitation will happen. The formula may be used to better predict brain injuries caused by high velocity impact.
A single head injury can increase the risk of developing dementia, especially in women. Suffering more than one head injury increases the risk further, a new study reports.
Researchers have identified abnormal areas of low blood flow in living NFL players. The findings could help provide better diagnosis and treatments for players with head trauma related to playing football.
A new study reports teenage athletes who suffered concussion while playing sport recovered faster when they participated in a supervised aerobic exercise program.
Researchers find no significant difference in concussion symptoms and recovery times between different age groups, from middle school children to college athletes.
Researchers report a new type of bike helmet that features air bag technology shows promise in preventing concussions.
Amateur boxers, specifically those who boxed during their youth, are twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's disease than those who didn't.
Alzheimer's patients who used antipsychotics had a 29% increased risk of head injury and a 22% higher risk of TBI compared to others with the neurodegenerative disease who did not use the medications.
Researchers note distinct patterns of neural activity as a response to auditory stimuli in patients with concussion.
Until now, chronic traumatic encephalopathy could only be diagnosed post-mortem. Researchers have identified a potential biomarker that could help diagnose CTE during a person's lifetime.
A blood test is able to detect concussions with 94 percent accuracy, a new study reports.
