A study from Harvard University shows one in three former NFL players believe they have chronic traumatic encephalopathy, also known as CTE.“It’s used to describe a progressive, neurological neurodegenerative condition that's associated, as the name implies, with trauma, repetitive trauma in particular,” said Dr. Thomas McAllister, the Albert Eugene Sterne Professor of Psychiatry at the Indiana University School of Medicine. He has been studying mild traumatic brain injury for 30 years.
