Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease linked to repeated head trauma, commonly seen in athletes involved in contact sports, military veterans, and individuals with a history of concussions. It is characterized by the accumulation of tau protein in the brain, leading to symptoms such as memory loss, mood swings, aggression, and cognitive decline. CTE can only be definitively diagnosed post-mortem through brain tissue analysis. Currently, there is no cure, and prevention focuses on reducing head injuries and managing concussions effectively.
