Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI), commonly known as a concussion, is a significant public health issue that affects millions of individuals, including athletes, military personnel, first responders and the general population.
Because mTBIs are complex injuries with a vast range of symptoms, Tulane University’s Center for Brain Health takes a multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mTBIs.
