The brain: we all have one and we couldn't live without it. But when it's not working, the health problems are among the most serious we can face in life.

There's been a lot of work done about brain injuries in men – particularly when caused by sporting injuries – but there's been less research in women.

This could be about to change. Experts at Glasgow University are at the forefront of work with a group called PINK concussions to try to learn more about the effects of brain injuries on women.

The founder Katherine Snedaker spoke to John Beattie about the prevalence of concussion among sportswomen, and why more women should consider donating their brains for research when they die.
