Radio National Breakfast — Separate stories podcast - Een podcast door ABC listen

As many professional sports grapple with the ongoing effects of concussion, the Murdoch Children's Research Institute has opened a new clinic in Melbourne which is designed to care for — and investigate — young brains affected by the condition. Researchers say one in five children will experience a concussion before the age of 10, mainly due to falls, playground accidents,  or playing sport, and they can take up to twice as long to recover compared to adults.  Guest: Professor Vicki Anderson, Theme Director of Clinical Sciences, the Murdoch Children's Research Institute  Producers: Joe Sullivan and Brianna Charles
