Abstract: The purpose of this analysis is to test for differences in cortical myelination between athletes with and without a diagnosed concussion, 24-48 hours after injury and 8 days later. Findings suggest that intracortical myelin may be a biomarker of the long-term effects of concussion, but how soon after injury these changes occur remains poorly understood. The goal was to determine whether athletes with a concussion would demonstrate reduced intracortical myelin and if the effects would be greatest 8 days after injury.
