Research Interests
Dr. Brett’s current research focuses on identifying the mechanisms and pathways by which TBI and repetitive head impacts (RHI) place individuals at risk for long-term neurological sequelae later in life. His research interests also include examining health and lifestyle factors throughout the lifespan that intensify and attenuate the risk of later life decline associated with TBI and cumulative RHI.
