26 There also is growing awareness that mild, repeated TBIs are closely related to chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a neurodegenerative disease associated with repeated head trauma.27 Recent autopsy studies have identified CTE in professional athletes who participate in American football, boxing,...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) causes axon tearing and synapse degradation, resulting in multiple neurological dysfunctions and exacerbation of early neurodegeneration; the repair of axonal and synaptic structures is critical for restoring neuronal functio
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a head injury that disrupts the normal brain structure and function. TBI has been extensively studied using various in vitro and in vivo models. Most of the studies have been done with rodent models, which may respond diff
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) Football players, boxers, or anyone who gets repeated blows to the head can get this condition, which kills brain cells. A single concussion isn’t likely to cause it. Symptoms often don’t show up for years. At first they include problems with mood, ...
translational studies: injury patterns in human TBI are often anatomically associated with sulci and gyri. For instance, early neuropathological signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), perivascular tau depositions, appear at deep locations in cortical sulci [1]. However, the mechanism for ...
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a brain condition associated with repeated blows to the head. It is also associated with the development of dementia.
Although whether traumatic brain injury (TBI) could cause AD has not been established, CTE is shown to be associated with TBI. Until recently, whether and how TBI leads to tau-mediated neurodegeneration was unknown. The unique prolyl isomerase Pin1 protects against the development of tau-mediated...
After former WWE star Ashley Massaro died last month, her lawyer announced that she wanted her brain donated to CTE research, rekindling the conversation about the risk of head trauma in professional wrestling.
