Abstract:Background: Repeated subconcussive head impacts are a growing brain health concern, but the possible mechanisms of trauma and plausible biomarkers remain elusive. One impediment is the lack of an experimental model to study the effects of subconcussive head impacts on the brain. Objectives: The objective was to provide an experimental model to study the acute effects of subconcussive head impacts on the brain. To do so, this study aimed to replicate previous work from Di Virgilio et al. (2016) showing that hea… Show more
