Investigating the ‘Silent Epidemic’ of mild traumatic brain injury: a TMS-EEG study [ 2018 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr George Opie (Principal investigator)

Brief description Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is common following an impact to the head. These injuries can affect brain function for many years after the initial incident, are associated with the development of serious conditions such as depression or Alzheimer’s disease, and increase the risk of suicide. This project will use cutting edge neurophysiological techniques to better understand how mTBI affects the brain, and to identify new strategies for restoring brain function following injury.
