Concussions in Athletics: From Brain to Behavior
Concussions in Athletics: From Brain to Behavior is a
timely and major contribution to the literature that
comprehensively addresses the neuromechanisms, predispositions,
and latest developments in the evaluation and management of
concussive injuries. Also known as mild traumatic brain
injury, concussion in athletics is a growing public health
concern with increased attention focusing on treatment and
management of this puzzling epidemic. Despite the increasing
occurrence and prevalence of concussions in athletics, there is
no universally accepted definition, or “gold standard,” for its
assessment.

Concussion in Athletics: From Brain to
Behavior provides a range of major findings that may shed
important light on current controversy within the field.
The book is organized in five parts: Evaluation of Concussion and
Current Development; Biomechanical Mechanisms of Concussion and
Helmets; Neural Substrates, Biomarkers and Brain Imaging of
Concussion Research; Pediatric Sport-related Concussions; and
Clinical Management and Rehabilitation of Concussions. An
