Micro Concussions May Alter Football Players' Brains

A new study finds that players of contact sports have differences in their
brain activity when compared with people who play non-contact sports. The
authors ask whether micro concussions are to blame.
.
There has been a significant drive, over recent years, to push the issue
of concussion to the front of people's minds.
.
It's now common knowledge that someone who is concussed should not return
to the field of play and should take care to rest.
.
The study that we are discussing today relates to a more common but much
less understood phenomenon: subconcussive impacts, which are also known as
micro concussions.
.
The study authors define micro concussions as "impacts to the skull,
including those that do not produce acute concussion but nevertheless
result in clinical signs and symptoms."
.
Across a college football season, a player might pick up well over 1,000
micro concussions. And, as research intensifies, scientists are growing
increasingly concerned that they may have a significant cumulative effect.

.
Overall, though, the study only adds to the pile of inconclusive findings.
Although differences were seen footballers' visual centers were busier
accurate interpretation is impossible at this stage.
