What impact does concussion have on cognition? Investigating the long-term effect on brain function

Online cognitive tests of memory, concentration and problem-solving revealed startling results. People with a history of concussion reported trouble concentrating and higher levels of anxiety and depression. Adrian Owen, PhD, is investigating this further to gain a better understanding of the long-term cognitive effects of concussion.
