The main purpose of this study is to prospectively examine changes in Brain Network Activation(BNA)following concussion in high school athletes. In addition, the study will examine the relationship between changes in BNA to symptoms, cognitive performance and vestibular function from baseline to 1-7, 8-14 and 15-21 day post injury intervals in high school athletes with concussion.

Changes in Brain Network Activation(BNA™)Scores From Baseline Over Post Concussion Recovery Period
To examine prospectively changes in brain network activation (BNA) from baseline to 1-7, 8-14, and 15-21 day post-injury intervals, and/or to recovery (i.e., return to activity) in high school athletes with concussion.
Time frame: baseline, 1-7, 8-14, and 15-21 day post-injury intervals
Relationship between changes in BNA to changes in symptoms from baseline over post concussion recovery period
To investigate the relationship between changes in BNA to changes in symptoms from baseline to 1-7, 8-14, and 15-21 day post-injury intervals, and/or to recovery (i.e., return to activity) in high school athletes with concussion.
Time frame: baseline, 1-7, 8-14, and 15-21 day post-injury intervals
Relationship between changes in BNA to changes in cognitive performance from baseline over post concussion recovery period
To investigate the relationship between changes in BNA to changes in cognitive performance from baseline to 1-7, 8-14, and 15-21 day post-injury intervals, and/or to recovery (i.e., return to activity) in high school athletes with concussion.
Time frame: baseline, 1-7, 8-14, and 15-21 day post-injury intervals
Relationship between changes in BNA to changes in vestibular function from baseline over post concussion recovery period
To investigate the relationship between changes in BNA to changes in vestibular function from baseline to 1-7, 8-14, and 15-21 day post-injury intervals, and/or to recovery (i.e., return to activity) in high school athletes with concussion.
Time frame: baseline, 1-7, 8-14, and 15-21 day post-injury intervals
