Investigating the consequences, pathogenesis, and treatment of repeated brain concussions in a novel rodent model

脑震荡现在被认为是一个严重的医学问题。特别关注的是那些遭受脑震荡高风险的人，如士兵和运动员，因为有证据表明，反复脑震荡与神经退行性疾病有关。在这里，我们将使用反复脑震荡的动物模型来检查这些损伤。这些研究将增加我们对脑震荡的理解，并对其在临床环境中的管理具有重要意义。

Concussions are now recognized as a serious medical issue. There is particular concern for individuals who are at high risk of suffering concussions, such as soldiers and athletes, as evidence indicates that repeated concussions are associated with neurodegenerative disease. Here we will use an animal model of repeated concussion to examine these injuries. These studies will increase our understanding of concussion, and hold important implications for their management in the clinical setting.
