Concussion, microvascular injury, and early tauopathy in young athletes after impact head injury
Показать описание
The mechanisms underpinning concussion, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) are poorly understood. Using neuropathological analyses of brains from teenage athletes, a new mouse model of concussive impact injury, and computational simulations, Tagge et al. show that head injuries can induce TBI and early CTE pathologies independent of concussion.
