DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2020.00673
Abstract: Prior studies have reported long-term differences in brain structure (brain morphometry) as being associated with cumulative concussion and contact sport participation. There is emerging evidence to suggest that similar effects of prior concussion and contact… read more here.
