Concussions are a hot topic from Hollywood to the NFL to the NCAA. Most of the discussion has centered around diagnosing concussions and then the protocols to follow after diagnosis. But Dr. Talavage and Dr. Nauman are looking at the deeper questions: How can we make the games that involve concussions safer? What really happens to the brains of players who are competing at these sports–including the brains of players who are never diagnosed with concussions? You won’t want to miss where their research has taken them. Along with Coach Terry Peebles, who is putting into practice some of what the Purdue studies have revealed, our guests have answers to some of the most vexing questions when it comes to concussions. What needs to change? And are these changes possible? We’re Going Deep on Concussions!
