Abstract

Post-concussion syndrome (PCS) is characterized by long lasting symptoms beyond what is considered typical recovery. This project examined electroencephalographic biomarkers related to frontal lobe and executive control function as identifiers for PCS. The data suggest that the frontal control network is susceptible to permanent alterations due to concussion.
