Could the immune system be responsible for the acute symptoms and long-term issues associated with concussion Dr Andy Greenhalgh writes about his research on concussion (mild traumatic brain injury) and the role the immune system might play in neurological problems that can follow.

Hereโ€™s a bit about the lab, one of our major interests (mild TBI) and how I got here as a neuroimmunologist ๐Ÿง
