Repetitive mild head trauma induces activity mediated lifelong brain deficits in a novel Drosophila model

Abstract Mild head trauma, including concussion, can lead to chronic brain dysfunction and degeneration but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we developed a novel head impact system to investigate the long-term effects of mild head trauma on brain structure and function, as w...
