FRANCE: According to a latest study conducted by the NorthShore Neurological Institute, Illinois, a brain scanning approach can be used to find out about the people suffering from concussions in the sport of football or others. The ailment called CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy is, as of now, only detectable posthumously.
During the research, the scan of 14 retired football players for CTE unveiled that there was an abnormal protein deposited in their brain in a kind of pattern which was similar to the one with the autopsy of disease.
CTE or chronic traumatic encephalopathy is the disease that leads to brain degeneration that continues to progress. This is specifically prevalent in the sports persons or athletes who have been exposed to blows on their head or concussions time and again. The symptoms of this disease include progressive dementia, depression, aggression, confusion and even memory loss.
