A concussion is the least serious form of brain injury, caused by a sharp blow to the head. Concussions range from mild to severe, but always affect, at least temporarily, the way the brain functions. Multiple concussions over years, such as that experienced by professional football players have been found to cause traumatic brain injuries including chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CET).The Boston Channel: Long-Term Side Effects Of Concussions Revealed (January 27, 2009)
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy is a type of brain injury suffered by professional athletes who have experienced repeated concussions over a period of years. Symptoms reported include depression, sleeplessness, and mental fatigue. A report issued on January 27, 2009 by researchers at the Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy reported that the brains of professional football players who died as relatively young men in their 30s and 40s show similar damage to Alzheimer's patients in their 80s.The Boston Channel: Long-Term Side Effects Of Concussions Revealed (January 27, 2009)-
