SUPPORT FOR MILD TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES
Recently, the 2010 American Association for the Advancement of Science met and discussed the serious nature of mild traumatic brain injuries, or concussions. Although over 1 million adults and children suffer mild traumatic brain injuries each year, the medical and legal fields usually ignore the severe effect such injuries have on a person's daily life. Often, such injuries cause neurological and cognitive problems that prohibit a person from properly functioning in society.
Doctors are now beginning to use neuroimaging techniques to study how mild traumatic brain injuries affect humans and animals. Within just a few days after a mild traumatic brain injury, doctors have found distinct changes throughout the white matter -- the brain tissue through which messages pass within the nervous system -- in the brain.
Such research is important because society at large does not take concussions or mild traumatic brain injury seriously enough. Proper diagnosis and treatment are critical to recover from such injuries. The Law Offices of Jeffrey J. Kroll is personal injury law firm experienced in handling traumatic brain injury cases.
