8. Sports concussion research using fMRI provides insight for safe return-to-play decisions
   08-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Concussions are common in young athletes but the underlying changes in brain function that occur have been poorly understood. Now, a University of Pittsburgh study is the first to link changes in brain function directly to the recovery of the athlete. The study results confirm that changes in brain function seen on fMRI may be reliably measured by neuropsychological testing, a tool commonly used nationwide by team doctors in making critical decisions about safe concussion management.

9. Jefferson neuroscientists find early lead exposure impedes recovery from brain injury
   12-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Exposure to lead can hinder the brain's ability to recover from injury, a recent study shows. Researchers compared the ability to recover from a brain injury in two groups of young rats. One group was fed a diet supplemented with lead, while the other had a normal diet. Each rat was then given a small stroke that affected a hind limb. The lead-exposed animals recovered much more poorly after a brief period of time.
