They explore genetic factors that can impact symptoms and diagnosis, as well as the use of neuroimaging in diagnosis and treatment  measurement issues such as sex differences, assessment of effort in evaluations, and computerized testing that can affect the validity of neuropsychological results  and exciting new treatment options such as virtual reality tools. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Given the recent shocking findings on the prevalence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy in professional football players, the importance of correctly diagnosing and treating sports-related concussions cannot be overstated. \u003ci\u003eNeuropsychology of Sports-Related Concussion\u003c\/i\u003e gives clinicians and researchers the tools they need to combat this problem, and help save lives.     \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e Contributors\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Peter A.
