The brain's ability to use sugar to repair cells damaged by the injuries can be affected if two or more serious blows are received on the head within days of each other, suggests new research. Sugar is brain's primary energy source. The brain''s ability to use energy is critical after an injury. In animal studies, Ohio State University scientists have shown that brain cells ramp up their energy use six days after a concussion to recover from the damage. If a second ...Monday 17 November 2014
Brain's Inability to Tap Energy Source Due to Repeat Head Injuries
