CTE refers to a pathology where microscopic changes in tissue can be seen by neuropathologists when looking at slides from autopsied brains. While attempts have been made to further define CTE, there remains debate about what the different observed changes in the brain mean. The challenge of agr...
Dr. Ann McKee, the co-director of the CTSE — which it says is the largest brain bank in the world, has analyzed the brains of 40 former athletes and found that more than 30 showed signs of CTE. That includes 13 of 14 former NFL players, college and high school football players, hoc...
