Topic: concussion

This symposium examines how connected research, shared data and lived experience can improve care after brain injury. It spans stroke, traumatic injury, concussion and rehabilitation, linking laboratory work with clinical services and policy. A patient-journey case study examines gaps from emergency retrieval through rehabilitation and long-term community care. Sessions explore data harmonisation, co-design, exercise-related cognition, peer support and translation into practice. Project showcases include AI-supported vocational training, virtual-reality rehabilitation, post-stroke stimulation,

The Science Show reviews a new approach to detecting and measuring concussion, a repurposed satellite for mapping the Universe, intervention to conserve a potentially sterile native plant, AI support for people with dyslexia, and how recommendation algorithms influence reading choices.

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), also referred to as concussion, is a common yet incompletely understood condition of the central nervous system. While traditionally considered to be limited in scope and self-resolving, recent studies point to a much more insidious nature of the injury that can continue to evolve for months, years or even the remaining lifetime of the victim. I review the available literature, with a focus on electrophysiological and imaging studies with a follow up period of at least 3 months from injury. Where available, I include observations on the behavioral, cognitive

Concussion (mild traumatic brain injury) affects approximately 50 million people annually. Headache is the most common symptom after concussion and persists in up to 50% of those affected for at least one-year. The biological underpinnings of and the efficacy and tolerability of treatments for post-traumatic headache has historically received little attention. While treatment in clinical practice is mostly directly at the underlying phenotype of the headache, persistent post-traumatic headache is considered to be less responsive to treatments used to treat migraine or tension-type headache.
