They talked about it in the journal Scientific Reports.
During the experiment, scientists studied the brain response of children to sound stimuli. The result showed that there was a clear distinction between the reaction of children who have had a concussion and not undergoing.
In children, post-concussion, neurons responded on average a third less than for the healthy. Guided by these observations, the experts were able to correctly identify 90% of children with concussions and 95% without.
It is noted that now the conclusions about the presence of a concussion is made on the basis of the patient’s words about the loss of consciousness at the time of the head injury and his complaints of nausea, headache and dizziness.
