We'll also look at how CTE spreads (even without additional head impacts) and how researchers are working toward solving the biggest hurdle in CTE today: How can we diagnose CTE in a living person?

Early symptoms of CTE usually appear in a patients' late 20s or 30s, and affect a patients' mood and behavior.

What is CTE?

In CTE, a protein called Tau forms clumps that slowly spread throughout the brain, killing brain cells.

The numbers are staggering – more than 640 brains donated, nearly 400 confirmed cases of the neurodegenerative disease CTE, 110 of 111 former NFL players diagnosed with CTE.
