Study: Cognitive Function Impaired by Repeated Head Trauma

Neuroscience researchers at Sanford Research in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, U.S., Health and Technology District and Simon Fraser University (SFU) in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada have published the latest results of their ongoing multiyear football study examining subconcussive changes in cognitive brain function in male youth football players. The findings were recently published in the peer-reviewed journal Brain Communications in the advanced articles section, titled: “Subconcussive changes in youth football players: Objective evidence using brain vital signs and instrumented accelerometers.”
