White matter injury

White matter consists of the long nerve fibers (axons) that act as the brain's "wiring." Injury to this tissue disrupts the brain's ability to send signals. Clinical research has focused on preserving this tissue to ensure athletes maintain cognitive health.

Bottom Line: Protecting white matter ensures an athlete’s mental processing speed and coordination remain intact; the Q-Collar has been clinically shown via DTI scans to better protect this vital tissue over a season.
