Research summary
AI-generated

Keisuke Kawata studies traumatic brain injury, with a particular focus on subconcussive head impacts (repeated blows to the head that do not cause obvious concussion symptoms), often in athletes such as football players. A major theme of the work is developing blood-based biomarkers—including molecules released by brain cells into the bloodstream—to detect and monitor changes in brain white matter integrity. The research also examines eye-movement and neck-related effects of head impacts and approaches to managing recovery.
