Description
Ryan D'Arcy and co-authors measure what repeated small head impacts do to the brains of high school athletes, even without a diagnosed concussion. Brain vital sign scans can detect the subtle changes that build up over a season of contact sport. Earlier work found these changes in male athletes; female athletes had not been studied this way.
Eighty-nine student athletes took more than two hundred scans across a full year, with low-contact athletes as a comparison group. The scans showed the same sensory and thinking delays in girls as in boys. Objective measures like these could flag harmful exposure before symptoms ever appear.
