Head Trauma and Brain Health, Protecting the Mind for Years to Come
About this Event
Join us for Head Trauma and Brain Health, Protecting the Mind for Years to Come featuring Suzanne Judd, Ph.D. from the UAB School of Public Health for a conversation about concussions.
Thirty years ago, it was not uncommon for children and adults to have head injuries in which they lost consciousness only to “wake up” and be told to walk it off. Today we know these concussions can lead to issues with cognitive function and mental health into adulthood. There are many ways to ensure the brain will stay healthy as we age and we will cover what is currently known about the science of maintaining strong cognitive health.
Dr. Judd is the Director of the Lister Hill Center for Health Policy and a Professor in the School of Public Health.
