%X Plain language summary: It is commonly assumed that there is no brain injury if there are no noticeable symptoms following a head impact. There is growing evidence that traumatic brain injuries can occur with no outward symptoms and that the damage from these injuries can accumulate over time resulting in disease and impairment later in life. It is time to rethink the role that symptoms play in traumatic brain injury and adopt a quantitative understanding of brain health at the cellular level to improve the way we diagnose, prevent, and ultimately heal brain injury.   Tweetable abstract: TBI diagnosis and treatment based on symptoms are misguiding efforts to identify, prevent and ultimately heal brain injury. It is time to adopt a quantitative cellular understanding of TBI to detect all brain injuries irrespective of symptoms<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
