We set out to determine if motor evoked potentials are different between acutely concussed and non-concussed collegiate athletes and determine if any relationships exist between MEP changes, self-reported symptoms and neurocognitive deficits. MEP thresholds, latencies, and amplitudes, scores on a self-reported symptoms checklist; and scores from a neurocognitive test battery were evaluated in 18 collegiate athletes (9 concussed, 9 controls). The observed MEP changes provide electro-physiological evidence for the acute effects of cerebral concussion in an athletic population. Alterations in neurochemical and neurometabolic processes following concussions may explain these abnormal MEPs, post-concussive symptoms, and deficits in neurocognitive function.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47584776650903,"sku":"9783836460798","price":7294.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783836460798.webp?v=1774957833","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/transcranially-induced-motor-evoked-potentials-following-acute-concussion-9783836460798","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
