DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant). Football head injuries involve significant forces and can result in mild to severe traumatic brain injuries. While this has received increasing attention at the professional, collegiate, and high school levels, there is scarce if any data available for participants in the youth leagues (8-12 years old). This study will relate information about head motion during a hit in youth football to neurocognitive and imaging data to determine the effects of subconcussive impacts, and the true incidence of cognitive and objective imaging changes. All elements of this study focus on the objective to increase understanding of pediatric mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) and prospectively collect biomechanical, imaging, functional, and computational modeling data on a scale never before attempted. This project integrates neuroinformatics work and the computational modeling techniques developed by Drs. Maldjian and Stitzel at Wake Forest University Health Sciences (WFUHS). It leverages the investments by WFUHS which has identified, instrumented, and begun recruiting the target population and funding the initial year as part of our ongoing work in this area of critical public importance. Th long term benefit of the research will be to allow equipment designers, researchers, and clinicians to better prevent, mitigate, identify and treat injuries to help make youth league football a safer activity for millions of children.

描述（由申请人提供）。 橄榄球头部损伤涉及很大的力量，可能导致轻度至重度创伤性脑损伤。虽然这已受到越来越多的关注 在职业、大学和高中各级，青年联赛参与者（8-12岁）的可用数据很少。这项研究将把青少年足球比赛中头部运动的信息与神经认知和成像数据联系起来，以确定亚脑震荡影响的影响，以及认知和客观成像变化的真实发生率。这项研究的所有内容都集中于提高对儿科轻度创伤性脑损伤 (mTBI) 的了解的目标，并以前所未有的规模前瞻性地收集生物力学、影像、功能和计算建模数据。该项目整合了神经信息学工作和博士开发的计算建模技术。维克森林大学健康科学 (WFUHS) 的 Maldjian 和 Stitzel。它利用了 WFUHS 的投资，WFUHS 已经确定、准备并开始招募目标人群，并为第一年提供资金，作为我们在这一具有重要公共重要性的领域正在进行的工作的一部分。这项研究的长期好处将是让设备设计师、研究人员和临床医生能够更好地预防、减轻、识别和治疗伤害，从而帮助使青少年足球联赛成为对数百万儿童来说更安全的活动。
