Over the last two years Boston University Medical School Researchers have been studying the brains of seven deceased, former NFL players. researchers at Boston University School of Medicine announced today.
All seven of these players died before age 50. Six of the players' brains suffered from CTE, Cerebral Traumatic Encephalopathy -- a collection of toxic proteins that present in the brains of persons suffering numerous concussions.
CTE causes lack of impulse control, memory loss, depression and dementia.
Football players are not the only athletes to suffer from CTE. Chris Benoit, a professional wrestler who inexplicably murdered his wife, cherished minor son and then himself was found to suffer from CTE.
CTE leaves the brain looking like that of a 90 year old Alzheimer's patient.
