Studies show college athletes sleeping less than 7 hours per night are almost twice as likely to be injured when compared with athletes sleeping more than 8 hours.

High school students who reported a concussion in the last year were more likely to have suicidal thoughts, plans, or attempts.

Concussions can teach researchers a great deal about how the brain recovers after injury and offer insights into how people can promote brain health throughout their lives.

A new study suggests that it's not just older professional athletes who should be concerned about CTE.

New research on CTE finds that the force of hits was critical in whether former football players developed the brain disease later in life.

People who got light exercise within 48 hours of a concussion had their symptoms resolve in about half the time as those who waited more than a week.

People who start playing tackle football at an early age or play it for more than 11 years have a greater risk of brain decline later.

Researchers have diagnosed 345 former NFL players with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) out of 376 former players studied, or 91.7%.

While high-profile concussions in the NFL have brought renewed attention to the gravity of head injuries, they can also occur on the playground or during junior varsity practices – with lasting effects.
