Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE)
Quick Facts of CTE:
- Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is a disease of the brain found mostly in people with a history of repetitive head impacts such as athletes, military veterans, and others.
- This type of trauma can trigger progressive degeneration of the brain tissue, including the build-up of an abnormal form of a protein called tau.
- The brain degeneration is associated with memory loss, confusion, impaired judgment, impulse control problems, aggression, depression, parkinsonism, and eventually progressive dementia.
