Sport concussion not as damaging as we think
Manage episode 438551262 series 5409
We've heard a lot in recent years about how damaging concussion in professional sport can be to long-term brain health.
But we don't know a lot about the impacts of mild concussions. Well there's now an app for that.
And one recent study found having a sports-related concussion didn't seem to have a detrimental effect on cognition and was linked to performing better in some areas.
