LOCATION: Carpenter Auditorium, Given Building, UVM Campus, Burlington

Concussions and related problems are a major concern in professional sports like football and hockey, with little concrete evidence of the long-term consequences. In younger athletes, even less is known, but research using neuroimaging is shedding new light on the impact of sports-related sub-concussive and concussive events on young hockey players’ brain structure and function and behavior. Learn about normal childhood brain development and discuss how concussion affects youth and may impact athletes later in life. Speaker:James Hudziak, MD - Professor of Psychiatry, Medicine, Pediatrics and Communication Sciences & Disorders, UVM Medical Center. Community Medical School is presented by The University of Vermont Medical Center and The University of Vermont College of Medicine. Learn more at UVMHealth.org/MedCenterCMS
