DOT Med News (1/16, Dworetzky) reports research suggests that “even moderate traumatic brain injury [TBI] may cause brain atrophy and cognitive decline in those with a genetic pre-disposition for” Alzheimer’s. Researchers arrived at that conclusion after using magnetic resonance “brain imaging to examine 160 veterans, some of whom had histories of single or multiple concussions.” The findings were published online Jan. 11 in the journal Brain.
