Video Summary
In the video, Jacob Raul Rajiv Joseph, the 2017 Kodma Neurotrauma Research Award winner, presents their study on elevated markers of brain injury in high school football athletes. They discuss how the adolescent brain is susceptible to mild traumatic brain injury, and the short-term effects of concussion include a decrease in school and job performance. The study aimed to determine if non-concussive, high-acceleration head impacts led to increased levels of traumatic brain injury biomarkers in asymptomatic athletes. The study found that high-acceleration head impacts resulted in a rise in certain biomarkers, indicating neuronal and axonal injury. These findings suggest a link between impact magnitude and brain injury, and the need for tools to identify those at risk. The long-term clinical significance of these findings is still unclear.
