The Long-Term Effects of Concussion on Brain Health in Former Athletes

We speak with Dr. Michael McCrea about sport related concussion.  We focus on definition, pathophysiology, recognition/diagnosis, biomarkers, (re)evaluation, recovery, rehabilitation, and return to sport following sport concussion.  We also touch upon long-term effects of repeated sport concussion on long-term cognition and mental health.
