SAN JOSE – The main part of practice was over but winger Kasper Halttunen stayed on the ice for some extra instruction, doing drills with three former NHL players-turned-coaches on what was the second day of the Sharks development camp.Several minutes after he left the ice, Halttunen, taken by the Sharks in the second round of the NHL Draft last week, still couldn’t quite believe one of those coaches was the league’s all-time leader in games played, Patrick Marleau.“When I was a kid, I watched him play on TV,” the 18-year-old Halttunen said of Marleau on Wednesday at Sharks Ice. “Of course, he is one of the biggest icons who has ever played this game. It was kind of a dream come true to work with him. It was awesome.”Marleau was back on that familiar sheet of ice this week, the one he practiced on for over 20 years as he became the Sharks’ all-time leader in games played, goals, and points. But instead of wearing shoulder pads Marleau, 43, was wearing a black tracksuit and a teal ca...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 03:21:14 GMT

A new study suggests that depression after traumatic brain injury may not be the same as depression related to other causes, according to researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital.The study of 273 people found that brain circuits associated with depression were different between people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and those without TBI.“Our findings help explain how the physical trauma to specific brain circuits can lead to development of depression,” said study leader Shan Siddiqi, of the Brigham’s Department of Psychiatry and Center for Brain Circuit Therapeutics.“If we’re right, it means that we should be treating depression after TBI like a distinct disease,” Siddiqi added. “Many clinicians have suspected that this is a clinically distinct disorder with a unique pattern of symptoms and unique treatment response, including poor response to conventional antidepressants — but until now, we didn’t have clear physiological evidence to prove this.”The study included 273 adult...
