Abstract：Repetitive subconcussive concussion refers to brain injury resulting from repeated minor head impacts.Although a single minor impact is insufficient to induce definite concussion symptoms,multiple minor impacts can cause damage to the brain.Repetitive subconcussive concussion is closely associated with long-term neurofunctional alterations and cumulative brain injuries,potentially increasing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases,thereby resulting in changes in cognitive function and a decline in the quality of life in later years.Event-related potential technology can objectively and precisely evaluate the changes in brain function under repetitive subconcussive concussion exposure.This review summarizes the event-related potential studies related to repetitive subconcussive concussion in recent years,providing a reference for understanding the neural mechanisms of repetitive subconcussive concussion exposure-induced damage.
