Mild traumatic brain injury and the risk of long-term neurodegenerative and neurobehavioural disease [ 2018 - 2022 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Paul Mccrory (Principal investigator)

Brief description Considerable media attention surrounds the potential for long-term problems in individuals with high exposure to head impacts such as seen in sporting, civilian and/or military contexts. This study examines the long-term effects of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and helps close the current knowledge gap of the impact of this disorder on individuals. There are no long term trials to answer the critical question of whether mild TBI causes long term problems in the brain.
