Description

Concussion and Traumatic Encephalopathy is a groundbreaking text that offers neurologists, neuropsychologists, psychologists, and physiatrists the first comprehensive reconceptualization of concussive brain injury in 100 years. During the twentieth century, progress in understanding concussion was hamstrung by resistance to the observation that many survivors suffer long-term sequelae, and by the lack of advanced neuroimaging technologies. As a result, the potentially immense impact of concussions on global health was largely overlooked. The last decade has witnessed a dramatic renaissance in concussion science. We are just beginning to fathom the implications for society. Informed by twenty-first-century advances, this new text updates the definition, epidemiology, pathophysiology, late effects, and promising therapies for concussion. Multiple experts have collaborated to summarize the latest scientific evidence in an engaging way and provide the reader with the first paradigm-shifting textbook of this new era.

• • Provides the first evidence-based reconceptualization of concussion in a century.
• • Comprehensively updates the neurobiology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, and management of concussive brain injury.
• • Clarifies the reasons for and risks of late effects after one or more concussive brain injuries.
• • Explores the underestimated impact of concussion on human society.
