Interface astrogliosis in contact sport head impacts and military blast exposure Open
Exposure to military blast and repetitive head impacts (RHI) in contact sports is associated with increased risk of long-term neurobehavioral sequelae and cognitive deficits, and the neurodegenerative disease chronic traumatic encephalopat…

The Second NINDS/NIBIB Consensus Meeting to Define Neuropathological Criteria for the Diagnosis of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Open
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with exposure to head trauma. In 2015, a panel of neuropathologists funded by the NINDS/NIBIB defined preliminary consensus neuropathological criteria for CT…

Nonhomogeneous Gadolinium Retention in the Cerebral Cortex after Intravenous Administration of Gadolinium-based Contrast Agent in Rats and Humans Open
Background Gadolinium retention after repeated gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) exposure has been reported in subcortical gray matter. However, gadolinium retention in the cerebral cortex has not been systematically investigated. Pur…

Duration of American Football Play and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Open
Objective Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disease associated with exposure to contact and collision sports, including American football. We hypothesized a dose–response relationship between duration of footbal…

Lewy Body Pathology and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Associated With Contact Sports Open
Traumatic brain injury has been associated with increased risk of Parkinson disease and parkinsonism, and parkinsonism and Lewy body disease (LBD) can occur with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). To test whether contact sports and CT…

Age of first exposure to tackle football and chronic traumatic encephalopathy Open
Objective To examine the effect of age of first exposure to tackle football on chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) pathological severity and age of neurobehavioral symptom onset in tackle football players with neuropathologically confir…

Characterization of Detergent Insoluble Proteome in Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Open
Quantitative proteomics of postmortem human brain can identify dysfunctional proteins that contribute to neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia. Similar studies in chronic traumatic encephalopat…

CCL11 is increased in the CNS in chronic traumatic encephalopathy but not in Alzheimer’s disease Open
CCL11, a protein previously associated with age-associated cognitive decline, is observed to be increased in the brain and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) compared to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Using a co…

Clinicopathological Evaluation of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy in Players of American Football Open
In a convenience sample of deceased football players who donated their brains for research, a high proportion had neuropathological evidence of CTE, suggesting that CTE may be related to prior participation in football.

Cognitive Reserve as a Modifier of Clinical Expression in Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy: A Preliminary Examination Open
This study conducted a preliminary examination on cognitive reserve (CR) as a modifier of symptom expression in subjects with autopsy-confirmed chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). The sample included 25 former professional football pla…

Football Players' Perceptions of Future Risk of Concussion and Concussion-Related Health Outcomes Open
Concussion is increasingly recognized as a risk of participation in contact and collision sports. There have been few examinations of athletes' perceptions of their susceptibility to concussion or concussion-related health consequences. We…

O5‐03‐06: The unite study: Understanding chronic traumatic encephalopathy through clinico‐pathological correlation — methods and instructive cases Open
UNITE, a recently NIH-funded U01 examines the neuropathology and clinical presentation of brain donors “at risk” for chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). We present methodology for examining clinicopathological correlation and two cases…

The Neuropathology of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Open
Repetitive brain trauma is associated with a progressive neurological deterioration, now termed as chronic traumatic encephalopathy ( CTE ). Most instances of CTE occur in association with the play of sports, but CTE has also been reported…
