Brief description The majority of people with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) experience problems with mood and emotional regulation. We will use imaging to measure brain changes from TBI, and link these to risk of depression, as well as behavioural and molecular alterations. Study cohorts will include former international footballers, junior sports people and emergency patients presenting with an acute TBI. The project will inform current policy and provide a strong scientific basis for future work.
