A return to non-contact physical activity three days after a concussion is safe and possibly even beneficial for kids, a Canadian clinical trial finds.

Seeking care is a sign of strength, not weakness.

From the way it is classified to long-term care options, experts say major changes are needed to address the global issue

A UB researcher is looking for children and teens ages 8-17 for a study examining the effects of sports-related concussions.

A Tampa-based nonprofit is working to provide free health care to veterans across the country. SOF Missions was founded by military veterans, Dr. Damon and Dayna Friedman. The organization's mission is to combat the veteran suicide crisis.

Suicides can affect even people who didn’t know them well. “It’s important to recognize that many different people with relationships to the person who died of suicide — or maybe people who may not have had a direct relationship with that person but who is still exposed to the suicide — is considered a survivor of suicide loss,” Dr. Ross Goodwin, a psychiatrist at Kaiser Permanente said.

Understanding the protein’s role in the cell shows what's happening in neurodegenerative diseases before symptoms emerge. For nearly 6 million Americans, neurodegenerative diseases like dementia, chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), and Alzheimer’s disease prevent neurons from functioning properly.

Microglia, specialized cells, can restrain the accumulation of beta-amyloid protein that are a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. But the cells sometimes contribute to the progression of the illness, researchers say.

New research indicates that sleep disturbance and mental health problems are both related to the connectivity between and within two important brain networks.

Military children who care for a wounded, ill or injured parent face additional challenges on top of the sacrifices they already make.
