The Long-Term Cognitive and Psychological Effects of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI)
<p>Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI), commonly referred to as a concussion, is a prevalent injury in the United States, with several million occurring every year. Many of these injuries take place while playing a sport, particularly in those activities that have higher rates of impact with another …

Unveiling Gender Bias: An Examination of Healthcare Provider Diagnosis of Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries. Insights from Case Vignettes
<p>Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) has gained public attention due to increased awareness of its neurological and physical effects, especially among male athletes. This study investigated how healthcare providers diagnose mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in male versus female patients by …

Functional MRI in the presence of repetitive, sub-concussive impacts
… awareness of the long-term risks associated with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). While much research has focused on the role of concussion (a single event exhibiting clear clinical symptoms), the role of repetitive sub-concussive impacts is not well understood. This study uses functional MRI …

The end of season electroencephalographic and neuropsychological status of a team of secondary school rugby players : a comparison between very mild traumatic brain injury and a sedentary control group
Although the incidence and consequences of mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) in secondary school rugby has been well documented, little is known about the incidence and consequences of repetitive sub concussive injuries - the so called very mild traumatic brain injuries (vMTBI). The aim of this …

DTI, structural network connectivity, and neurocognitive changes associated with subconcussive impacts in youth football players
American football has the highest rates of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) among youth athletes (age 8-13 years) in the United States. It is well established that concussions can lead to disruption of white matter (WM) microstructural integrity and lead to neurocognitive impairment. Little is …

The KATP -Knockout Mouse: A Model of Susceptibility to Post-Concussion Syndrome
… people in the United States each year sustain a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Unfortunately, approximately 15% of these patients will have post- concussive symptoms that last longer than three months. Knowledge of the pathophysiological processes underlying susceptibility to poor outcomes …

Ultrastructural damages in the brain induced by low-intensity primary blast wave : a transmission electron microscopy study on mild traumatic brain injury
… AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Explosive blast-induced mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), a "signature wound" of recent military conflicts, commonly affects Service Members. While past blast injury studies have provided insights into TBI with moderate-to high-intensity explosions, the impact of primary …

The neuropsychology of sport concussion
… the effect of terminology (i.e., concussion; mild traumatic brain injury, mTBI; minor head injury, mHI) on familiarity, injury outcome expectations and symptom self-report in athletes using a questionnaire. The mTBI terminology was the least familiar, reliably more negative conceptualised, but …

Neurocognitive Implications of Sport-Related Concussion in High School Athletes Over-Time
The identification of sport-related concussion (mild traumatic brain injury [mTBI]), its neurocognitive sequelae, and subsequent management have become a top priority within a spectrum of research disciplines at the intersection of psychology and sports medicine. To properly understand the complex …

The Impact of Incentives on Neuropsychological Test Performance: An Analog Study
<p>Concussion, also known as mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI), represents a common injury in children, young adults, and athletes in particular. High rates of malingering have been demonstrated in individuals with MTBI when faced with monetary incentives, but research is yet to explore the impact …

Psychological and neuropsychological correlates of Postconcussional Disorder
… (PCD) occur in a significant minority of mild brain injury patients. The latest research suggests an interactionistic perspective as the most logical and empirically supported pathogenesis for the development and maintenance of PCD. The interactionistic perspective implicates organic …

An Assessment of Frontal Lobe Activity and BDNF Levels Following Concussion in Collegiate Athletes: A Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Study
… with sports related injuries, can result in a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), known as a concussion. Previous research has assessed how mTBIs affect the brain, but these assessments are limited in their ability to directly measure the consequences of mTBI. Along with concussion assessments, …

Electrophysiological analysis of the sleep onset period : a comparison between subjects with long term insomnia complaints associated with mild traumatic brain injury and matched controls /
… of those who complain of insomnia following mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI). While many believe that symptoms of post concussion syndrome (PCS) following MTBI resolve within 6 to 12 months, there are a number of people who complain of persistent sleep difficulty. Two models were proposed …

The Role of Injury Mechanism in Neurogenesis Following Repeated Mild Traumatic Brain Injury in the Dentate Gyrus
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) accounts for approximately 73-83% of all traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and continues to be a serious clinical challenge [1]. The role of injury mechanism in TBI has been widely debated, and it is believed that although there are differences between diffuse and …
