Summary

As the authors of this chapter declare early on, it is hard to overestimate the centrality of functional neuroimaging to the 21st-century success in overthrowing the 20th-century error that concussions are transient. Preliminary evidence demonstrates that so-called "mild" traumatic brain injuries routinely cause brain changes detectible up to 60 months later. The authors are world-renowned authorities on this subject, with access to the most advanced extant technologies and empirical observations. This chapter explains the methodologies, reviews the findings to date, and predicts the forthcoming explosion of data gathering that will surely expand the knowledge base and enhance (or perhaps upend) both the theoretical foundations of concussion research and the prospects for practical human benefits.
