(Undated) — There’s new research on the brain connected to concussions in high school football players.
A research team examined neurological data on 91 high school football players and 10 were diagnosed with a concussion. They compared pre- and post-season data on the players. It reveals that players with a concussion showed a definite slowing of their aperoidic brain activity compared to players who did not get a concussion.
Researches say the slowdowns were highlighted in poorer scores on tests that gauge their cognition.
