More Blood in the Brain May Reduce Concussions

The Cincinnati Enquirer says researchers are looking into whether boosting the volume of blood in the brain may help avoid concussions. More blood means the brain more completely fills the skull, reducing the area the brain has to bounce around in the event of a blow to the head. Researchers at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital are testing a device to boost the amount of blood in the brain to what you’d find in someone who was been lying down for 8 hours.
