NEUROPRECISE - Precision Medicine After Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries

NEUROPRECISE is a study on mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in children and adolescents from 10 to 17 years. NEUROPRECISE uses a longitudinal cohort study design 1) to characterize neurosteroid response with respect to age and sex, 2) to evaluate the association of the neuroimaging derived individual injury profile with neurosteroid response, and 3) to explore individual differences in neurosteroid response as a potential target for acute therapy and prevention of chronic symptoms with respect to age and sex in a rodent model.

REPIMPACT - Repetitive Subconcussive Head Impacts in Soccer

This is a multidisciplinary, longitudinal multi-site study across Europe that follows youth soccer players over the course of a year. The results of this project will likely change our understanding of the effects of repetitive head impacts and risk factors for long-term impairment in youth athletes.
