Playing Football Young May Mean Earlier Cognitive, Emotional Problems

  • 6 years ago
A new study shows that the earlier players with CTE started tackle football, the more vulnerable they are to emotional and cognitive problems. CTE is a degenerative brain disease that often starts after repeated head trauma. Earlier studies have shown that the brain may change even after one hard hit. Researchers are working on finding indicators of CTE in the living. It can currently only be diagnosed with an autopsy.
