A person can suffer from a concussion by receiving a blow to the their head. The concussion occurs by the sudden jerk of the person’s head causing the brain to move inside the skull and hit the inner part of the skull. The movement of …show more content…
Furthermore, the need to explore for a treatment to reduce the effects of concussions on one’s brain is crucial. Conducting studies and experiments to understand the mechanism of concussions can pave the road for finding a treatment for this type of traumatic brain injury. Below are studies that I have found will be helpful in treating concussions and reducing the occurrence of concussions in the future.
Lateral Fluid Percussion: Model of Traumatic Brain Injury in Mice. Concussions, a leading cause of traumatic brain injuries, are increasing worldwide. The rapid spread is due to the knowledge the public is receiving regarding head injuries. The mechanism of traumatic brain injuries in human is not fully understood, however, more and more studies are being published to further the public’s knowledge. Lateral fluid percussion (LFP) is a method used on rats to mimic head injuries. LFPs are used to generate mild to moderate traumatic brain injuries. After the injury, researchers can study the effect of the injury on the rats
