Concept explainers
To explain: Sports other than football where players sustain a concussion.
Concept introduction: Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is commonly known as concussion where the brain loses function temporarily as a result of head injury during sports or accident. Concussions are common in sports and causes neurological disorders like chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). CTE occurs in people who have had head injuries and is a neurodegenerative disease.
To explain: Should the rules of practice or games be changed for children playing contact sports?

- You are the clinician in-charge of a drug development team targeting neurodegeneration. You are asked to give a presentation on your proposed research strategy. What area(s) of the brain would you recommend as the best target(s) for a neurogenic drug in adults Select one: a. Thalamus b. Hypothalamus c. Prefrontal cortex d. Hippocampus e. corpus callosumarrow_forwardCould you please advise as to what would be the correct choice?arrow_forwardDr. LaGuardia is a cognitive neuroscientist who is interested in the effect of brain concussions on the ability to recognize faces. He conducts a quasi-experimental study in which he examines football players before and after the regular season using the Benton Facial Recognition Test (a published, widely used measure of one’s ability to recognize faces) to compare those who received concussions to those who did not. He finds that players who had concussions during the regular season performed worse on the Benton Facial Recognition Test than did players who did not experience concussions. If Dr. LaGuardia had instead been interested in conducting a small-N design, which of the following might he have done? a. He would not have compared participants’ performance on the Facial Recognition Test to other groups. b. He would have collected fewer types of data. c. He would have likely collected other additional dependent measures. d. He would have likely selected a topic where he…arrow_forward
