}The literature on concussion contains elements of confusion in that the word is used for cases in which there is obviously permanent neuronal damage. In turn, this leads to confusion regarding the prognosis and immediate management of cases where a blow to the head is the primary injury. If we adhere to the classic definition of concussion, “a transient disturbance of neurologic function with no structural damage”, a lot of this confusion will disappear, including that surrounding prolonged…

It is concluded that diffusion tensor imaging is a powerful technique for early d etection of axonal injuries and may serve as an important tool for monitoring microstructural c hanges during the recovery process.

The results suggest that those MTBI subject who suffer prolonged recovery exhibit disturbed functional networks, and slowed dynamism in functional connectivity than those of the healthy control or thoseMTBI participants who recovered quickly.
