Exploring tDCS-induced changes in EEG power and network connectivity in youth concussion: preliminary findings

Children and youth are at a greater risk of concussions than adults, and once injured, take longer to recover. The increased incidence of sports-related concussion/mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in youth and the potentially serious long-term negative impact on their developing brains has enormous repercussions.
