Article Synopsis
- - The study examined 12 concussed high school football players and their healthy teammates, assessing symptoms, balance, cognition, and brain activity during a working memory task at two time points: 13 hours and 7 weeks post-injury.
- - Initially, concussed athletes demonstrated typical symptoms and cognitive impairment, but showed significant recovery in both symptoms and cognitive performance by the 7-week mark.
- - Brain imaging indicated reduced activation in right hemisphere attentional networks right after the concussion, but increased activation in those networks was observed at 7 weeks, correlating with improved cognitive function and symptom relief.
