Soccer heading is associated with white matter microstructural and cognitive abnormalities

TLDR
Heading is associated with abnormal white matter microstructure and with poorer neurocognitive performance and this relationship is not explained by a history of concussion.
Abstract
Our current study results suggest that a nonlinear relationship exists between exposure to heading during the previous year, as measured by the Einstein Heading Questionnaire, and both abnormal white matter microstructure and poorer neurocognitive performance on a memory test.
