Title: interesting study on concussions
Post by: dolfan13 on January 27, 2009, 12:39:51 pm
very interesting read on some research around the effects of multiple concussions to the brain:

getting knocked upside the head year in and year out in football (or other full contact sports) is no joke. think about having your head hurt, or memory loss for days after a hit to the head... the long term affects of this are just now starting to be understood.

I had a concussion once. What would make anyone ever think they are not serious is beyond me.
