Neuropsychology of Sports-Related Concussion

Explore neuropsychological considerations in the assessment, diagnosis, and management of sports-related concussions and their aftereffects.

Examine genetic factors that can impact symptoms and diagnosis, as well as the use of neuroimaging in diagnosis and treatment; measurement issues such as sex differences, assessment of effort in evaluations, and computerized testing that can affect the validity of neuropsychological results; and exciting new treatment options such as virtual reality tools. Protect your athletes from sports-related head trauma, such as chronic traumatic encephalopathy and concussion, often regarded as “the single most important issue in sports today”.
