Alert: Canvas Outage Update

Faculty and staff may continue to use Canvas, but we strongly advise faculty and students to prepare a contingency plan for turning in assignments and final exams in the event Canvas access becomes unavailable again.

Microbiome-Gut-Brain Axis Biomarkers for Prevention of Persistent Symptoms-Traumatic Brain Injury(MAPPS-TBI)
Among those who played contact sports (e.g., retired National Football League [NFL] players), lifetime repetitive head impacts and concussions (i.e., mild traumatic brain injury [mTBI]) have been associated with increased risk for adverse brain health and mental health outcomes, including suicide.1-3 Inflammation resulting from contact sport-related injuries is an underexplored factor that may explain these poor health outcomes. Recent research suggests that gut microbial diversity and microbiome community composition are further negatively impacted after even mTBIs.
