What is a "concussion"?
A concussion is an injury to neuronal structures and networks in the nervous system. These primarily relate to functional deficits that can rarely be detected with regular imaging methods such as MRI. In about 75% of cases, the brain is able to recover from the injury on its own. In the remaining cases, "Post Concussion Symptoms", some of which can lead to severe limitations in brain function. The functional deficits can be remedied with targeted "neuro training".

background
Since the film "Concussion" with Will Smith was released in 2015, awareness of the possible effects of concussions on the brain and the rest of the body has not only grown in the USA. In the film, Will Smith plays a neurologist (Dr. Bennet Omalu) who performs an autopsy on a deceased football player and then realizes that severe brain damage can be linked to death. After detailed examinations, the clinical picture of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) was discovered. CTE is a neurodegenerative disease associated with abnormal accumulation of tau protein and can lead to cell death, dementia and cognitive deficits. Tau protein is responsible for the transmission of information between nerve cells. A large accumulation leads to a kind of knotting, which negatively affects the communication paths between the nerve cells and can lead to the death of neurons. A concussion is a complex pathophysiological process that negatively affects the brain due to biomechanical effects.

neurological approach
A recognized Treatment with medication for a concussion is not possible. Treatment approaches work best based on the "Functional Neurology". These focus on individual neurological deficits and treat them specifically. The most common fields of application include visual and vestibular exercises, since these systems are also most frequently disturbed. A detailed anamnesis, in which the existing disturbances are revealed, is important for the individual approach become.
shock in sports
No sport records more concussions than American football. Nevertheless, this diagnosis has hardly been diagnosed in recent years, especially in American football. Former NFL player Mike Webster, who died after Dr. Bennet Omalu had a massive form of CTE despite not having been diagnosed with a single concussion in 27 years of gaming - and with over 27,000 recorded hits in his gaming career. In addition to Mike Webster, many other NFL players fall victim to CTE. Boston University found that 87 out of 91 NFL players who died had CTE. These include Taler Sash, who died of a painkiller overdose, and Junior Seau, who committed suicide with a gun. Since depression and anxiety disorders could also be associated with CTE, the question must be asked to what extent the neurodegenerative disease could have been partly responsible for the suicide.
