It may cost you the game but do yourself a favor and don’t hit that soccer ball with your head. That’s the latest warning from doctors who recently found that heading, a common technique soccer ...

Using an advanced imaging technique called diffusion MRI, researchers identified abnormalities in the brain’s white matter near sulci, deep grooves on the brain's surface. "The potential effects ...

Heading a soccer ball can cause long-term damage to areas of the brain associated with learning, new research shows.

A special type of MRI—diffusion tensor imaging—was used to measure brain microstructure at the depths of crevices in the brain surface called sulci. We then tested the associations of heading ...

Players more likely to head the ball showed abnormalities in the white matter adjacent to the sulci – the grooves in the outer layer of the brain, essential for maximizing the cortical surface ...

Participants ranged from 18 to 53 years of age. Players who had engaged in a lot of soccer headers showed changes in the brain’s white matter adjacent to sulci -- deep grooves in the brain’s surface.

Soccer players who headed the ball at high levels showed an abnormality in the brain's white matter adjacent to sulci, which are deep grooves in the brain's surface. Abnormalities in this region ...

Soccer players who headed the ball at high levels showed abnormality of the brain's white matter adjacent to sulci, which are deep grooves in the brain's surface. Abnormalities in this region of ...

Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by progressive cerebellar ataxia, oculocutaneous telangiectasia, immunodeficiency, and increased cancer risk.

Soccer players who headed the ball at high levels showed "abnormality" of the brain’s white matter adjacent to sulci, which are deep grooves in the brain’s surface. Dr. Lipton explained that ...
