Neuropsychology students and faculty from the Department of Clinical and Health Psychology, along with collaborators from Neurology, Community Health and Family Medicine, the University Athletic Association, and Banyan Biomarkers, Inc., recently published the Concussion Biomarkers Assessed in Collegiate-Student Athletes (BASICS) paper series. This 3-part series appears online in Neurology, the official journal of the American Academy of Neurology, which is among the most widely read and highly cited peer-reviewed neurology journals. The project was led by Breton Asken, MS, ATC (CHP, BauerLab), Dr. James Clugston, MD (CHFM), and Dr. Russell Bauer, PhD (CHP), with support from several other faculty and student co-authors:
