Science & Medicine: Cognitive deficits from concussions can linger

People with concussions get checked out pretty thoroughly by their doctors, but for some, there are cognitive changes and deficits that doctors don’t pick up. "They focus on being able to walk and being able to move around, being able to do the activities that you need to do. But something like cognition and communication, those are a little bit more nuanced," said Rocío Norman, PhD, an assistant professor at UT Health San Antonio.
