ABSTRACT
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an important public health concern that is one of the leading causes of death and disability annually around the world.1,2 Several factors have fueled increasing interest in TBI over the last several years, including rising awareness around the acute and chronic effects of sport-related concussion (SRC) and the reported incidence of head injuries sustained by U.S. military service members deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. Sporting and military cohorts are now known to be at elevated risk of mild TBI (mTBI), characterized by more subtle neurocognitive and neurobehavioral symptoms that are often challenging to assess and characterized in a clinical setting.
