Summary

Concussive brain injuries have surely been observed by hominins since long before the dawn of humankind. Medical accounts go back at least 2,000 years. However: (1) no definition for this condition has achieved universal acceptance; (2) the pathophysiology is poorly understood; (3) the frequency with which various outcomes can be expected is highly controversial; and (4) the research funding seems disproportionately exiguous in the light of this disorder's probable global impact. This textbook is the first of a new era, informed by paradigm shifts unveiled by empirical discoveries and conceptual insights over the last two decades.
