Repeated head trauma causes neuron loss and inflammation in young athletes

Repeated head trauma causes neuron loss and inflammation in young athletes

Neuropathological Diagnosis Brain tissue was obtained from the CTE and the National Center for PTSD Brain Banks. Identical intake and tissue processing procedures occur with both brain banks. Four controls included in Nissl quantification were provided by the Iowa Neuropathology Resource Laboratory. Neuropathological examination was performed by board certified neuropathologists as described previously10,44. Diagnosis of CTE was determined using published …

Repeated head impacts cause early neuron loss and inflammation in young athletes

Repeated head impacts cause early neuron loss and inflammation in young athletes

Wednesday, September 17, 2025 NIH-funded study reveals brain changes long before chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) develops. Research supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) shows that repeated head impacts from contact sports can cause early and lasting changes in the brains of young- to middle-aged athletes. The findings show that these changes may occur years before chronic traumatic encephalopathy …

This Diet May Prevent Neuron Loss and Dementia

This Diet May Prevent Neuron Loss and Dementia

This study links the MIND diet to less neuron loss in the hippocampus, which is key to memory and learning. Participants who followed the MIND diet closely had a 22% lower chance of hippocampal sclerosis. These findings build on evidence that food choices may influence brain aging and dementia risk. Everyone wants to protect their memories. The idea of forgetting …
