Functional Brain Imaging Helps Explain Post-Concussion Symptoms and Role of Exercise in Healing
Using functional brain imaging (fMRI) a multidisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Buffalo have documented metabolic and physiologic changes in the brains of patients experiencing post-concussion symptoms. They found improvements in both imaging findings and in patient symptoms following a controlled, progressive aerobic exercise program. The results have been published in both the Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation and in Current Sports Medicine Reports and are summarized in UB news releases. Read More
