A newly developed adeno-associated virus vector can deliver an anti-p Tau antibody directly to the hippocampus, significantly reducing pTau levels associated with CTE.
PET imaging of former NFL players who exhibited cognitive decline and psychiatric symptoms linked to CTE showed higher levels of tau in areas of the brain associated with the neurodegenerative disease.
Researchers say a single season of playing high school football is all it takes to cause microscopic alterations to the structure of the brain.
A new study identifies a genetic mutation that may influence the severity of CTE.
A new study, which involved a small sample of former professional athletes, found no evidence of early onset dementia.
A new study of football players who were diagnosed with CTE reveals those who started playing tackle football before the age of 12 had earlier onset of emotional and cognitive problems.
A new study reveals head impact, not concussion, triggers CTE. The discovery could help with early detection and treatments for the neurodegenerative disorder.
Until now, chronic traumatic encephalopathy could only be diagnosed post-mortem. Researchers have identified a potential biomarker that could help diagnose CTE during a person's lifetime.
A new study from researchers at Boston University reports an increase in later life emotional and behavioral problems in people who played youth tackle football before the age of 12.
A new poll conducted by UMass Lowell and The Washington Post reveals three quarters of NFL fans believe head injuries in the sport are a major problem. 60% of those surveyed also said they were concerned about off-field violence as a result of head injuries.
