BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The effect of exposing the developing brain of a high
school football player to subconcussive impacts during a single season is unknown. The …

Recent evidence of short-term alterations in brain physiology associated with repeated
exposure to moderate intensity subconcussive head acceleration events (HAEs), prompts …

Purpose To examine the effects of subconcussive impacts resulting from a single season of
youth (age range, 8–13 years) football on changes in specific white matter (WM) tracts as …

Objective: Youth athletes are believed to be more susceptible to white matter (WM)
degradation resulting from head impact exposure relative to high school (HS) athletes; this …

The aim of this study was to determine whether the cumulative effects of head impacts from a
season of high school football produce magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measureable …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Current approaches to diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)
analysis do not permit identification of individual-level changes in DTI indices. We …

Despite negative neuroimaging findings in concussed athletes, studies indicate that the
acceleration and deceleration of the brain after concussive impacts result in metabolic and …

Emerging evidence suggests that a history of sports-related concussions can lead to long-
term neuroanatomical changes. The extent to which similar changes are present in young …

Objective: To examine effects of participating in collegiate football on neural health several
years after retirement. We hypothesized that relative cortical thinning and loss of white …

Object The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of repetitive head impacts on white
matter integrity that were sustained during 1 Canadian Interuniversity Sports (CIS) ice …
