Abstract
Traumatic brain injuries can result in short-lived and long-lasting neurological impairment. Identifying the correct recovery timeframe is challenging, as balance-based metrics may be negatively impacted if testing is performed soon after exercise. Thirty-two healthy controls and seventeen concussed individuals performed a series of balance challenges, including virtual reality optical flow perturbation. The control group completed a backpacking protocol to induce moderate fatigue. Concussed participants had lower spectral power in the motor cortex and central sulcus when compared to fatigued controls. Moreover, concussed participants experienced a decrease in overall theta band spectral power while fatigued controls showed an increase in theta band spectral power. This neural signature may be useful to distinguish between concussed and non-concussed fatigued participants in future assessments.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
