Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy is a degenerative brain disease that has been linked to repetitive head trauma, such as that experienced by athletes in contact sports or military personnel. It is caused by the accumulation of the abnormal protein tau in the brain, leading to symptoms such as memory loss, confusion, and depression. There is currently no cure for CTE, and it can only be definitively diagnosed through examination of the brain after death.
