Previous studies have found that certain proteins in the blood are associated with concussion or recovery time. These include tau protein, neurofilament light chain protein (Nf-L), and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). An NIH research team tested whether these three proteins could be used as biomarkers to predict length of recovery time. They studied 127 male and female

UT Dallas group quickly gains traction with timely, relevant message about brain health
DALLAS (September 23, 2020) – Under the auspices of the Center for BrainHealth, an innovative student-led organization has launched to promote a proactive and preventive approach to brain health. The Global BrainHealth and Wellness Initiative will serve as a peer-to-peer catalyst for students to adopt habits now that will positively affect their brain’s health and performance tomorrow.
Believed to be the first of its kind in the U.S., this organization was established by three undergraduate students at The University of Texas at Dallas:

Older people have become younger: physical and cognitive function have improved meaningfully in 30 years (University of Jyväskylä release):
The functional ability of older people is nowadays better when it is compared to that of people at the same age three decades ago. This was observed in a study conducted at the Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland. The study compared the physical and cognitive performance of people nowadays between the ages of 75 and 80 with that of the same-aged people in the 1990s.

Is brain training the cure for car sickness? (The Sunday Times):
RESEARCHERS from the University of Warwick think they’ve found the cure for motion sickness, a condition to which a third of people are highly susceptible and from which anyone can suffer. The implications could be significant should fully driverless vehicles become a reality, with passengers predicted to be more susceptible to nausea while working, reading or watching screens during travel.
According to the Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG), who undertook the study, “visuospatial training exercises” can train the brain to reduce motion sickness by more than 50%. These include typical “br…
