chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a progressive, degenerative and fatal brain disease associated with repeated blows to the head over a long period of time
a forceful blow to the head causes your brain to move back and fourth inside your skull. this damages brain tissue and disrupts connections between brain cells
damaged nerve cells accumulate abnormal amounts of tau proteins, which makes them dysfunctional
behavioural and cognitive symptoms of CTE may not appear for years after brain injury
CTE symptoms are similar to degenerative brain diseases, making CTE difficult to diagnose
currently, a definitive diagnosis of CTE can only made by an autopsy of the brain
supportive treatments can help sufferers manage their symptoms, but there is no cute for CTE
