Dangers of concussion laid bare by major new study

Just one serious concussion can damage memory and brain power in later life, major new research has revealed.

In the largest of its kind, researchers found three or more moderate brain injuries can have a long-term impact on attention span, memory and the ability to complete complex tasks.

The study of more than 15,000 Brits people found the risk was cumulative – meaning the more times a person injures their brain, the worse their brain function could be as they age.
