Persistent Post-Concussive Syndrome (PPCS) is underdiagnosed in the pediatric population and 25% of children admitted to the emergency department due to mTBI may suffer from PPCS. Additionally, motor vehicle accidents and adolescence were found to be the greatest risk factors for PPCS

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-08302-0

Data on epidemiology and prognosticators of persistent post-concussion syndrome (PPCS) after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in the pediatric population is scarce. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of PPCS in children after mTBI and to identify clinical variables in children wh...

It has been estimated that the number of women who have experienced brain injury secondary to domestic violence is 11–12 times greater than the number of brain injuries experienced by military personnel and athletes combined.

https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3425/12/1/122

Research on traumatic brain injury (TBI) as a result of domestic violence has greatly increased in the past decade, with publications addressing the prevalence, diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment. Although TBI due to domestic violence has recently been found to occur quite frequently, it was not w...

Brain stimulation (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, Deep Brain Stimulation) are not only effective in treating treatment-resistant depression, but also, it may be effective in treating substance use disorder.

https://www.scielo.br/j/rbp/a/6shZQ3XNsT9tSRBzFgspGmK/?lang=en

Current treatments for substance use disorders (SUDs) are far from ideal, with no U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved pharmacotherapies to treat stimulant and other use disorders. New approaches are urgently needed to combat the increasing prevalence of SUDs and overdose deaths. It is widely....

Digital Tech is GOOD & BAD for your brain! Consistent tech use may cause attention problems, poor emotional and social intellect, tech addiction, social isolation, and poor sleep. However for older adults, consistent tech use may lead to increases in neural activity.

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.31887/DCNS.2020.22.2/gsmall

Emerging scientific evidence indicates that frequent digital technology use has a significant impact—both negative and positive—on brain function and behavior. Potential harmful effects of extensiv...

Brains look different for people that meditate! Studies found strengthened connections primarily in the left hemisphere of the brain of those that meditate vs. those that do not meditate.

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00429-022-02496-9

In the past decades, there has been a growing scientific interest in characterizing neural correlates of meditation training. Nonetheless, the mechanisms underlying meditation remain elusive. In the present work, we investigated meditation-related changes in functional dynamics and structural connec...

Creatine supplements may have a positive and mitigating impact on concussion symptoms, brain injury, and some neurodegenerative disorders.

https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/14/5/921?fbclid=IwAR0s5pjO9zBdL5YN0sy5WFPN-7aBNzHquK6qOxcFzmNeDyJg3Sw-dumjk0M

While the vast majority of research involving creatine supplementation has focused on skeletal muscle, there is a small body of accumulating research that has focused on creatine and the brain. Preliminary studies indicate that creatine supplementation (and guanidinoacetic acid; GAA) has the ability...

Although Progesterone is typically prescribed for healthy pregnancy, it may also protect damaged cells in the central and peripheral nervous system. This may significantly help those suffering from brain injury.

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.31887/DCNS.2011.13.2/dstein

Although progesterone is critical to a healthy pregnancy, it is now known to have other important functions as well. Recent research demonstrates that this hormone is also a potent neurosteroid tha...

11/30/2022

Traumatic stress is associated with changes in certain brain areas (hippocampus, amygdala, anterior cingulate), as well as increased neuro chemical responses (cortisol and norepinephrine). However, specialized treatments show neuronal growth, as well as improved memory and increased hippocampal volume.

Brain areas implicated in the stress response include the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex. Traumatic stress can be associated with lasting changes in these brain areas. Traumatic stres...

Maternal life-course experiences act as a predictor of offspring mental and physical well-being, as shown by an interaction between maternal early-life adversity and infant telomeres.

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are associated with mental and physical health risks that, through biological and psychosocial pathways, likely span generations. Within an individual, telomere length (TL), an established marker of cellular stress ...
