Description	This chapter presents summaries of the research on the neuropathology and neuroanatomy of concussion, starting from the macroscopic levels of damage as seen in severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) to the cellular mechanisms that are affected in both concussion and TBI. It also outlines the relationship of the neuroanatomical substrate of concussion to actual cognitive and behavioral functioning. Concussion and mild traumatic brain injury have become increasingly publicized over the decade both in the scientific literature and the lay media. Most symptoms of post concussion syndrome include: headache, dizziness, and irritability commonly presented with psychological symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and stress. Sports such as cheerleading, cycling, roller and inline skating, ice-skating, kickboxing, and mixed martial arts can result in concussion or TBI, however, there is little research that has been done on these activities. One of the most serious consequences of TBI is an epidural hematoma. Book Name: Handbook of Sport Neuroscience and Psychophysiology
