Transcranially-Induced Motor Evoked Potentials

The study investigates motor evoked potentials (MEPs) in collegiate athletes to assess the impact of sport-related concussions. By comparing 9 concussed athletes with 9 controls, researchers analyzed MEP thresholds, latencies, and amplitudes alongside self-reported symptoms and neurocognitive test scores. The findings reveal significant MEP changes that indicate acute cerebral concussion effects, suggesting that neurochemical and neurometabolic alterations post-injury may contribute to observed symptoms and cognitive deficits in athletes.
