Changing the Brain Injury Conversation: Why Words Matter
Jan 09, 2026Words matter—especially when it comes to brain injury.
In this episode of The Brain Injury Insider, we discuss a new joint statement from leading brain injury organizations that aims to improve how brain injury is defined, discussed, and understood across medicine, law, policy, and public life.
The guidance, titled “Communicating About Brain Injury,” was released by the Brain Injury Association of America and partner organizations to address outdated and often harmful language surrounding brain injury—including the overuse of “mild, moderate, and severe” labels.
Key topics include:
• Why traditional “severity” labels are misleading

Brain Injury Insider Episode 139: Thanksgiving After Brain Injury: How to Celebrate Inclusively
Nov 26, 2025As we gather for the Thanksgiving holiday, I'd like to reflect on what this season means for all of us—gratitude, connection, and the small but powerful ways we show up for one another.
Thanksgiving reminds us that gratitude is more than just something we feel; it’s something we practice. It’s found in the care we extend, the compassion we show, and the support we offer, especially during times of challenge.
In my work representing individuals and families affected by traumatic brain injury, I am reminded every day of the incredible strength of the hum...
Brain Injury Insider Episode 138: Can Heading a Soccer Ball Damage Your Brain?
Oct 17, 2025Today I want to discuss a recent study with potentially wide implications for anyone who plays soccer — even at the amateur level — and even for those who have never been diagnosed with a concussion.
Heading a soccer ball repeatedly might damage your brain, even if you never are knocked out, see stars, or diagnosed with a concussion.
In one of the largest studies yet to look at the effects of soccer headers in non-professional players researchers found:
Players who had repeatedly headed a soccer ball showed changes in a part of the brain calle...

Aug 29, 2025Today I want to share some fascinating—and concerning new research.
The research reports that traumatic brain injuries may speed up the aging process in post-9/11 veterans.
Researchers looked at blood samples from over a thousand veterans, most in their 30s.
The study published in the Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation found that veterans with a history of TBI in all degrees of severity showed signs of aging faster at the biological level.
In other words, their bodies were acting older than their actual age.

Aug 22, 2025Today, I would like to spotlight an important new legislative proposal being considered by the New York City Council highlighting the link between domestic violence and brain injury and the need for screening of domestic violence survivors for this invisible injury.
The legislation would require mandatory screening for brain injury among survivors of domestic violence whose injuries often go unrecognized and unsupported.

Brain Injury Insider Episode 133: CTE, Concussions & the Midtown Manhattan Tragedy
Aug 08, 2025Today, I would like to discuss the tragic midtown Manhattan shooting on July 28, 2025, in which the shooter—Shane Devon Tamura, a 27‑year‑old former high school football player left a suicide note claiming he suffered from CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy, and blamed the NFL for concealing the dangers of football. He asked for his brain to be studied post‑mortem.
Tamura never played in the NFL—he only played in high school—and there’s conflicting information regarding a history of head trauma or concussions. CTE can only be diagnosed via autopsy.

Brain Injury Insider Episode 132: The Hidden Dangers of E-Scooters and E-Bikes
Jul 25, 2025It’s summertime and today we’re taking a hard look at a fast-growing threat to public safety—electric scooters and e-bikes.
They may be convenient, but they’re causing chaos on our streets—and most people aren’t even aware of the risks.
According to a recent article in USA Today, the statistics are alarming.

Jul 18, 2025In this special episode of The Brain Injury Insider, brain injury attorney Michael Kaplen highlights groundbreaking research from the University of Georgia that could change how we treat traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Researchers have developed an experimental drug—CMX-2043—that may help the brain heal itself after trauma by boosting the brain’s antioxidant defenses. Early findings using a swine model show promise in reducing brain damage post-injury.
This episode explores the importance of this research, the current lack of FDA-approved drugs for TBI treatment, and why continued funding for brain injury research is critical.
Brain Injury Insider Episode 130: Traumatic Brain Injury & Independence Day
Jul 04, 2025Today, we celebrate the 4th of July—a day of fireworks, festivities, and the founding ideals of freedom and independence.
I want to pause, and reflect on what independence really means, especially for survivors of traumatic brain injury.
For many of us, July 4th is about barbeques, family gatherings, and patriotic pride.
But for millions of Americans living with a brain injury, independence is not a guarantee.
It’s a daily struggle. A journey. And often, a battle—to reclaim memory, mobility, clarity, or simply the ability to participate in life as they...

The study surveyed over 600 police officers in the United Kingdon and found that 38 percent had suffered at least one traumatic brain injury compared to 12 percent of the general population. This is the largest survey to assess the relationship between TBI and law enforcement personnel.

Mar 18, 2025The Harris organization polled over 2,000 American adults on behalf of The Brain Injury Association of America to determine their awareness of brain injury symptoms, causes, and key myths and facts as well as their personal experiences with brain injury.
Many of the poll’s findings raise significant concerns about public awareness of brain injury and misconceptions which need to be considered and addressed by all professionals who interact with brain injury survivors.

Brain Injury Insider Episode 123: Can Concussions And Repetitive Head Trauma Lead To Neurodegenerative Disease?
Jan 24, 2025New research from Tuft’s University suggests that concussions and repetitive head trauma may reactive dormant viruses in the brain triggering neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease and Parkinson’s Disease.
The study examined the Herpes Simplex Virus found in the brains of a high proportion of elderly individuals. The research found the dormant virus can be reactivated by repetitive head trauma mimicking the forces necessary to generate a concussion. The brains were then re-examined and found to have markers of neurodegeneration.

Dec 09, 2024Screening of patients in hospital emergency departments for concussions and other types of traumatic brain injury is challenging due to the many ways symptoms may manifest.
Repeated studies have shown that emergency departments often fail to properly diagnose concussions leading to the inability of individuals to receive timely or proper treatment.
And even when a concussion is diagnosed, there is often a failure to assess the patient for a risk of future consequences previously called the post-concussion syndrome and now known as persistent post concussive symptoms.

CMS has added TBI to its list of chronic conditions for chronic special needs through its Medicare Advantage program effective for the January 2025 plan year This significant addition was made though the advocacy efforts of The Brain Injury Association of America who will continue to fight to expand coverage for all types of brain injury with the ultimate goal of greater coverage across all forms of public and private insurance.
Brain Injury Insider Episode 115: Long Term Disability Insurance Benefits for Brain Injury Survivors
Oct 09, 2024Despite what long term disability insurance carriers may respond to claims made by brain injury survivors for long term disability benefits, not everyone gets better after sustaining a traumatic brain injury.
Recent long term medical studies have concluded that the cognitive, physical, and emotional consequences of a traumatic brain injury, including a concussion can result in long term impairments.
These studies establish contrary to past opinions, most symptoms of concussion are not resolved within 3 months post-injury.
