Hmm, I've heard that myself for years. Here is something I found recently:
Quote:
Concussions often occur in athletes. But experts still know little about this sports injury. That's because of the brain's complexity and the lack of research on concussions.
Concussions are often hard to spot. A forceful hit to the head or any part of the body that causes a rapid movement of the head may result in a concussion.
Most concussions do not involve loss of consciousness. You don't even have to be hit on the head. A blow to the shoulder that violently snaps the head can cause a concussion.
