PLEASE READ!Please note that The Post Concussion Podcast has been closed for new episodes as of early 2024. Concussion Connect is also closed. Thank you to everyone who was so supportive over the years and I hope these episodes continue to help others as they come across them! I have set on a new venture (with a pen name - Izzy Barry) you can learn more about here https://izzybarry.substack.com/--One of the main contributors to concussions being designated "the invisible injury" is the absence of physical damage observed using traditional visualization techniques, such as CT scans or MRIs. Addressing this issue with us today is Dr. Uzma Samadani, associate professor, attending neurosurgeon, and founder of Oculogica. The mission of Oculogica is to diagnose and classify different types of brain injuries using eye-tracking.Join us today as we dive into how Oculogica is achieving these goals and why FDA approval is such a big achievement. Find out why Dr. Samadani chose to become a neurosurgeon, how the diagnosis and treatment of brain injuries have changed over the past few decades, and what the underlying cause of a brain injury can be. We learn why "mild brain injuries" are so dangerous to patients and their mental health, and how sport has been good for shedding light on brain injuries. We also address the guilt, blame, and shame surrounding a brain injury and how inequity can impact a patient's outcome. For all this, and so much more, tune in today for another fascinating episode!  Learn more about Dr. Samadani: http://samadanilab.org/index.html Learn more about Oculogica: https://oculogica.com Find Show Notes, Transcript, & More: https://postconcussioninc.com/podcast    ONE-ON-ONE with Bella Paige, schedule here: https://postconcussioninc.as.me/meet-bellapaige Join our support community Concussion Connect!!
