More research is needed to determine if subconcussive blows — repetitive hits to the head not diagnosed or suspected as concussions — are deleterious.

An athlete should never be returned to play after a concussion until all symptoms have been resolved and he or she has been cleared by a licensed provider.

Taking the head out of football — and ice hockey and other contact sports — is easier said than done, but some rule changes would certainly decrease the number of sports-related brain injuries.

Multiple concussions versus a single concussion in sports elevate the need for expert medical advice before returning to play.

This national program will match recruited veterans' genomic information with their electronic medical records to help better individualize treament for TBI and other conditions.

Struggling with a brain injury can be frustrating and isolating. But you are not alone. Former Sgt. Adam Anicich and Staff Sgt. Reanita Gray (Ret) encourage others to find resources.

Brain Injury Awareness Month is a yearly effort to shine a spotlight on the progress and benefits of brain research.

COL Hack talks about the Army's thousands of Combat Casualty Care projects, including 450-500 just for brain injury research and care.

Understanding the biomechanics of the neck from injury is crucial for diagnosing and treating TBI. Learn why getting hit from the side is more damaging than getting hit straight on.

When looking at the full-picture treatment for people with TBI, clinicians need to ask leading questions about issues including alcohol and caffeine use, intimacy or sexual issues, and suicide risk.

People with TBI can usually process information, though it may happen slowly or may "be off." More research is needed.

Much good basic science research has and continues to get done, but mostly in silos. Standardizing what is known in clinical practice would be the smart way to optimize care for people with TBI.
