I love hearing that there is a desire to study more female brains and domestic violence. Dr Eva Velaro is or was doing a study on IPV and concussions, etc… I was not able to participate because my length of LOC was to great. My brain was excepted into future study at BU and Dr McKee because of sports related concussion history. Look forward to helping with CTE research.

I work at a clinic that treats brain injury. I hope at some point you'll expand to multi-causal, i.e. contact sports, childhood abuse, car accidents, workplace injuries, assaults, IPV, hitting the head on cupboard doors (hard enough to create a goose egg), etc. My most severe patients have a combination.

Do you do studies on former athletes that are younger than 50? Most people start playing sports in elementary school and continue through at least high school.

Yall should look up Daniel Carcillo and psilocybin

I wonder if those who have CTE with non-reported RHI are victims of severe childhood abuse or IPV that wasn't reported to the clinic...

I'm Indian and living with cte ...many Indian are suffering from this after road accident to multiple concussion.....this is not only contact sport matter it is matter of how much ur head was impacted .....I'm suffering from this

[@gizmotis]

how about a child abuse survivor. .from the age of about 5 to about 16 he punched me in the head, sometimes daily, sometimes weekly. I have no idea how many concussions/sub concussions I had from 5ish to 16

[@neuroovt741]

What was done to you was horrific. I agree with you that it's extremely important to study childhood abuse.

[@KatJ3st]

I wonder if Alvin Kumara's violent attack on a stranger in Las Vegas was CTE related...?

[@mgreen351]

Is the medical community aware of CTE when former players come to them seeking treatment?

[@craiglyle2966]

In reference to a human brain. Water hitting rock is a terrible analogy. If anything it should be the other way around.

[@deepaksinghsisodiya5690]

Finally after how many years cte can be dignose after death and if it is regular the what is that diagnosis after someone passed away

[@deepaksinghsisodiya5690]

मैं भारतीय हूं और सीटीई के साथ जी रहा हूं। यह मेरे लिए बहुत कमजोर करने वाली बात है, कोई भी मेरी परवाह नहीं करता। मेरी याददाश्त खराब हो जाती है....माफ करना, मैं इसके साथ नहीं रह सकता...हर कोई बस शोध, शोध, शोध कर रहा है ए

[@deepaksinghsisodiya5690]

What a fuck no one discover right now the treatment it is 1928 to 2024 almost 94 years ....very unfortunate .

[@mrfake675]

It's because they didn't want too. Medical system is corrupt.
