Single concussion can cause structural damage to brain

Mar 12, 2013 by

Just one concussion can cause lasting structural damage to the brain, including measureable volume loss. The two areas particularly affected are the anterior cingulated (linked to mood disorders/depression) and the precuneal region (lots of connections to areas that control executive function/higher order thinking).
