Gioia 28 Spotlight Corner Sports Concussion: An Interview with Kevin Robinson, BMX Professional and NAN Foundation Board of Trustees Member Michelle Mattingly & Eric Rinehardt 31 Editor's Corner Michelle L. Mattingly, Ph.D., ABPP/CN NAN Bulletin Editor We are pleased to introduce the fall edition of the NAN Bulletin series for 2013. We have decided to continue with the theme-based publication and have selected another topic which we find can be complex and controversial. Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and concussion have drawn increased attention in the national media and medical community due to a variety of factors. Neuropsychologists frequently play a central role in the diagnosis and treatment of individuals with mTBI and concussion and must be capable of understanding a quickly developing and evolving body of knowledge in the area. The scope of this edition will include current views on diagnosis, treatment, and novel research approaches to mTBI and concussion. We hope that it will contribute to an advanced understanding of these issues for our readership. Michelle L.
