They did not differ from controls on other clinical outcome measures. There were no differences in cortical thickness between the groups. Professional players had smaller whole brain (p = .003), bilateral hippocampi (ps = .03), and left amygdala volumes (p = .01) compared to healthy controls. Within the players group, there were significant associations between greater alcohol use and smaller bilateral hippocampi and left amygdala volumes. There were no associations between structural volumes and history of concussions or memory performance. Conclusions: The literature examining cortical thickness in athletes with a history of multiple concussions is mixed. We did not observe differences in cortical thickness in professional rugby league players compared to controls. However, smaller subcortical volumes were found in players that were, in part, associated with greater alcohol consumption.]]> Tue 20 Sep 2022 10:48:22 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43132 Tue 13 Sep 2022 15:07:23 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33782 Tue 03 Sep 2019 18:19:06 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19751 Thu 13 Aug 2015 09:47:16 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30476 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:24:16 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32384 Mon 23 Sep 2019 10:20:53 AEST ]]>
