Even after their symptoms disappear, concussion patients may still have difficulty driving, a small study published in Journal of Neurotrauma suggests. The study included 14 college-age participants who were tested on a driving simulator within 48 hours after they no longer felt the effects of their concussions. Despite feeling like they had recovered from their

Looking at long-term effects of TBI—an average of seven years after injury, patients with mild to moderate brain injuries are two times more likely to have developed attention problems, and those with severe injuries are five times more likely to develop secondary ADHD. These researchers are also finding that the family environment influences the development of
