Everyone probably already uses this, but I recently discovered a free app that lets me search PubMed/ Medline on my phone. It's called Unbound Medline. It's pretty nifty in that you can search, bookmark, and view abstracts easily, plus if articles are free, you can download them, too, or share them through various means. I'm using it on my cheapo Android phone.

This is an interesting article about Univ of Rochester research that shows how visual processing effects intelligence. I think a disruption in visual processing may be a big component of the struggles people with PCS have.

This is an interesting part of a TED Talk about floaters. Notice the comment about how the brain usually is able to ignore them. For people with PCS, this ability to ignore them may be limited making the floaters more obvious and annoying.

Very surprised this wasn't already in here!

Very exciting new research discovered a biomarker for conccussions, it may soon be possible to have a blood test for this SNTF protein, I for one cannot wait!

Hello everyone,
I haven't been on here for a while as I very fortunately got my life back after a 2 year recovery period.
Anyhow, thought I'd share this with the community:

Ben Greenfield has a great health and fitness oriented podcast which I recommend per se.
Here are two very relevant episodes.
Also various useful links are contained in the show notes for each.

All the best to you

Many of us have been wondering whether exercise can help with the recovery. Here is a recent randomized controlled trial that shows a positive effect of a light exercise program started as early as a few days after the concussion:

I have had multiple concussions starting at the age of 5, through the age of 25. No, the parents were not abusers : I was very active in sports that were injury prone, and also was in a couple of car wrecks.

I am a looking into different therapies that claim to heal, retrain, or otherwise help the brain. The injuries were decades ago, and I'm not a kid anymore, so I am looking for people who have experience in being treated for old injuries.

Cognitive FX was mentioned my my physical therapist. A PT she knows sent her 17 year old football player son to FX, with great results . From what I've read- the results in younger people with newer injuries is far more noticeable ( no surprise there).

Any older folks with old head injuries and PERSONAL experience ( not hearsay, please) of treatments or cures, I would love to hear about your results and recommendations.

Has anyone been to Cognitive FX ?

Thanks for your help. I am considering investing almost $12000 in FX, but the reviews seem to all be on their website= suspicious ?
