New study reveals lasting health impacts of traumatic brain injury

A recent study found that even mild traumatic brain injuries (TBI) can cause long-term brain changes in healthy middle-aged adults.

The research from University of Cambridge revealed that those with a history of mild TBI had brain changes linked to early signs of neurodegenerative conditions.
