There are about 1.6-3.9 million sports injury only in
USA each year. Specially, players of sports like
American football, hockey, boxing etc are more
susceptible to injury. Many athletes present
constellation of post concussion symptoms (PCS).
Further, chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) has been
also reported related with sports concussion. Cingulum
Cortex is an important hub for emotional and memory
processing. The main motivation behind this study is to
investigate the effects of multiple traumas on the
volumes of anterior and posterior cingulum cortex (ACC &
PCC) and determine its effects on Neuropsych and
functional test scores.
