A new study sheds light on the irreversible brain damage caused by repeat concussions often experienced by participants in impact sports. These findings prove that constant trauma to the brain can affect memory later in life, and highlight the ongoing struggle the sports industry faces in working to protect their athletes.
Specifically, researchers uncovered that concussions cause direct damage to the hippocampus, which serves as the brain’s memory center. While more research is needed on the topic, experts believe that a concussion causes the brain to shrink in this area and results in memory problems later in life.
In discussing the results of the study, Munro Cullum, head researcher in this study conducted at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, said “These findings serve as a potential risk factor for mental changes later in life. We also can’t predict who will experience this memory loss.”
As part of their ongoing efforts to provide the best information on how brain damage caused by impact sports can affect memory later in life, and what can be done to protect from this potential harm, Fucoidan Force continues to bring attention to this ongoing problem and hopes to remind the community that their health is extremely important.
When asked about this article, Barry Edwards, site director for Fucoidan Force said “In providing this information, we hope to draw people’s attention to the ongoing dangers these high-impact sports present, not only for professional athletes but our children participating in high school and college sports.”
