Recent Concussion Literature

Each month Dr. Donald Marion, Consultant for DVBIC’s Division of Clinical Affairs, reviews all concussion-related journal articles posted during the past 30 days in PubMed. He selects 10-15 publications considered most relevant to military TBI providers and develops brief summaries of those articles, which you'll find here. Most of the publications are clinical studies, and laboratory investigations or reviews are usually excluded. For more information about this service, you can contact Dr. Marion at donald.marion@us.army.mil.
