In this episode, I discuss brain injury and how it affects the brain, physical abilities, cognition and behaviour. There is a particular focus on traumatic brain injury and how concussion in sport is an area receiving interest from researchers. I interview Brodie Ingham who has investigated concussion in Australian gridiron, and she reveals that the results show the need for greater reporting within the sport. Get bonus content on Patreon
