Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), also known as concussion, is a common type of brain injury that typically occurs as a result of a blow or jolt to the head. Despite being considered "mild," mTBI can have significant short-term and long-term effects on cognitive function, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life. Research in this area focuses on understanding the underlying mechanisms of mTBI, developing effective diagnostic tools, and improving treatment strategies to help individuals recover and prevent long-term complications. Additionally, there is a growing emphasis on the importance of early detection and intervention in order to reduce the risk of long-term cognitive and behavioral difficulties associated with mTBI.
