Increasing recovery time between injuries improves cognitive outcome after repetitive mild concussive brain injuries in mice.

abstract：:Seventy-one patients with minor head injury were given extensive neuropsychological evaluations 3 months after injury. A significant percentage of the patients demonstrated cognitive impairment, which seemed essentially unrelated to the length of unconsciousness or of posttraumatic amnesia. Impaired patients evidenced...
