Default Visual processing and intelligence
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.

Default Floaters in the eye
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.

Default New treatment study for cognitive difficulties following mild to moderate TBI
New clinical trial being run in Melbourne, Australia to develop a targeted treatment for memory or attention difficulties to allow for a more complete recovery following a mild to moderate head injury.

The research is investigating combining a gentle form of electrical brain stimulation, called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), with cognitive training.

I tried to google this study but could not find it. But, I did find this interesting article about tDCS.

http://spectrum.ieee.org/biomedical/...-has-no-effect

The vast amount of studies are anecdotal, not large enough for valid results. It appears to be a hit or miss treatment.

Default New Protein Biomarker Highlights Damaged Brain Wiring After Concussion
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!

Default Excellent NCBI Article on Current State of Brain Injury Diagnosis and Treatment
A really good, though lengthy, literature review of the current state of knowledge about pathophysiology of brain injury, imaging possibilities and their limitations, and guidelines for diagnosis, education, and symptomatic treatment. Highly recommended for doctors who are willing to be educated about mTBI and PCS. http://https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2424119/#!po=14.4295

A recent survey about the undiagnosed neck injuries associated with PCS. This article seems to strongly suggest that, in many cases of PCS, symptoms are entirely due to the neck injury rather than to the brain injury itself. For instance, the following sentence is quoted from the survey:

In addition, a prospective Norwegian study of 348 participants identified through a questionnaire that headaches persisting for more than 3 months after trauma and diagnosed as PCS are often related to a musculoskeletal pathology. In other words, the head or brain injury does not cause the persistent symptoms [23]. These results show the importance of potential cervical impairment in patients with mTBI [4, 14, 16, 17].
