American researchers have found that even a small concussion or head injury can trigger destructive processes in the brain, negatively affecting the speed of neuron movement, as a result of which basic cognitive functions deteriorate much faster than average indicators with age, as reported by the Internet edition for girls and women from. net Researchers at the Michigan State University School of Kinesiology analyzed how students experienced concussion-related brain injuries and compared them to those who did not.. As a result, significant changes were found in gait, balance and changes in the electronic activity of the brain in students of the tested group..

At the same time, outwardly, all participants in the study behaved in exactly the same way and the differences in their behavior were almost imperceptible..

“The last thing we want is to sow panic. If you have ever suffered a head injury, this does not mean that you will develop dementia or Alzheimer's disease at a fairly early age.. However, we found that within six years after receiving a concussion, the destructive processes in the brain accelerate.. How much they really affect the quality of human life, we can not yet say..

We did not notice any special external differences.. According to a number of previous studies that were conducted on a similar topic, such changes are reversible - in other words, over time, if there are no repeated injuries, these processes not only stop, but also turn around. However, head trauma is extremely serious and we want to warn people against.

that they put themselves at unnecessary risk,” said Steven Broglio, assistant professor of kinesiology at the University of Michigan and one of the study’s lead authors..

According to scientists, negative changes can most clearly manifest themselves in the speed of decision-making, since injuries worsen the speed of information transmission through electronic impulses to the greatest extent..
