Article Synopsis
- The effects of repeated blast exposure (RBE) on the brain health of US Special Operations Forces (SOF) are not fully understood, and currently, there is no test to diagnose injury from such exposures.
- A study involving 30 active-duty US SOF found that higher blast exposure correlates with changes in brain structure and cognitive performance, particularly affecting the rostral anterior cingulate cortex (rACC).
- These findings indicate that increased blast exposure can lead to health-related issues and suggest that a comprehensive, network-based diagnostic method may be beneficial for identifying brain injuries in SOF personnel.
United States Special Operations Forces (SOF) personnel are frequently exposed to explosive blasts in training and combat. However, the effects of repeated blast exposure on the human brain are incompletely understood. Moreover, there is currently no diagnostic test to detect repeated blast brain injury (rBBI).
