"Understanding Concussions: Essential Information for Athletes and Parents"
Dr. Shae Datta, co-director of the NYU Langone Concussion Center, emphasizes the seriousness of concussions and the importance of proper treatment and monitoring. Symptoms include headache, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating, and treatment varies based on severity. Parents should ensure symptoms have completely resolved before allowing their child to return to sports, and imaging may be necessary in some cases. To prevent long-term consequences, it's crucial to report and treat concussions promptly, and a multidisciplinary team can assess an athlete's readiness to return to play.

"New Tip Leads to Exhumation of Sheriff Buford Pusser's Wife's Body in 1967 Cold Case Murder"
The body of Pauline Pusser, wife of former Tennessee sheriff Buford Pusser, was exhumed after more than 50 years following a new tip in the unsolved 1967 murder. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation oversaw the exhumation, as there was never an autopsy performed on her body. Pauline Pusser was killed in McNairy County in 1967, and the investigation into her killing has remained active. Buford Pusser, known for his efforts to combat organized crime, was also seriously wounded in the same incident and later died in a car wreck in 1974.
"Promising Reversal of Memory Loss in TBI Patients"
Researchers at Georgetown University have discovered that memory loss from repeated head impacts, such as those experienced by athletes, is linked to the failure to reactivate specific memory-forming neurons, rather than permanent damage. Using lasers to activate these neurons, they successfully reversed amnesia in mice, suggesting potential for non-invasive human treatments. The study provides new insights into memory issues in individuals with repeated head impacts and offers hope for developing treatments to recover cognitive function in humans affected by such injuries.
