Evoked potentials in severe brain injury.
EEG and postural correlates of mild traumatic brain injury in athletes
Pathophysiology of Concussion.
Molecular Aspects of Concussion and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy
Anatomy of the Concussion: More Serious than Meets the Eye?
TLDR
This review of concussion research aims to study the functional effects of MTBI on the brain, and investigations should extend towards establishing increased public awareness of concussions with corresponding standardized care criteria.
Long-Term Effects of Sports Concussions: Bridging the Neurocognitive Repercussions of the Injury with the Newest Neuroimaging Data
TLDR
This article reviews the pathohistology of cerebral concussions and examines the extant literature with a focus on electrophysiological and neuroimaging findings, particularly as they are related to chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
Clinical electrophysiologic assessments and mild traumatic brain injury: state-of-the-science and implications for clinical practice.

Observations on Concussion
TLDR
The historical origins and evolution of the descriptive classifications of concussive head injuries are traced, suggesting that head injuries should be described on the available evidence of the severity and duration of altered consciousness, traumatic amnesia and, when present, the variably associated neurological, physiological and imaging signs.

Cerebral hemodynamics and metabolism following experimental head injury.
TLDR
The present experiments were undertaken to clarify the nature of acute cerebral disorders resulting from head injury and based on experimental observations of concussion produced by a pendulum striking the freely moving head, it was concluded that this type of concussion was due to temporary paralysis of nervous function.
LOSS OF NERVE CELLS IN EXPERIMENTAL CEREBRAL CONCUSSION
TLDR
It is suggested that the term 'concussion' be applied only to the state of an individual in whom appropriate functional and structural alterations exist following a mechanical shock to the brain, but that the name is never used to refer to the mechanical events which initiated the changes.
PHYSIOLOGY OF CONCUSSION
The animal studies described in this paper were undertaken to determine the mechanisms operating in sudden loss of consciousness following blows to the head. It was anticipated that such an…
ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHIC STUDIES IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING HEAD INJURY
TLDR
The rapid disappearance of abnormal electroencephalographic findings points, in the opinion, to some mechanism in concussion other than petechial hemorrhage, cerebral contusion, embolic phenomenon...

TLDR
The histopathology of cats with concussions compared to the symptoms and the mechanical forces involved is described and the relationship of acceleration concussion to compression concussion will be discussed on the basis of these findings.

TLDR
Study of changes in the properties of neuronal membranes by observing the alterations in electrical activity of the cells at various levels of the central nervous system should accompany the changes in function that are known to be present following head injury.
Head injury in the chimpanzee. 2. Spontaneous and evoked epidural potentials as indices of injury severity.
TLDR
With injuries causing prolonged or irreversible loss of consciousness, the later EEG showed depression or large amplitude slow waves, which became isoelectric if the blow was fatal, and recovery of the SER and of consciousness paralleled each other.
