Michael Terry: “But I’ve never even had a concussion.”
It’s important to understand the impacts military life has on the brain, and that is why I have pledged my brain to Project Enlist. As the link between concussion, Traumatic Brain Injury, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is explored, the next generation of soldiers will have a better understanding of what the military brain is subjected to. With that understanding, soldiers, leaders and clinicians will be better equipped to properly manage or mitigate the potential exposure to brain injury faced by those who serve.
