A recently published study from the BU CTE Center estimates that 75% of former NFL players will have chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) at death. We recognize that these findings may raise questions or concerns about your own brain health or that of someone you love.

While this research represents an important advancement in our understanding of CTE, it is equally important to understand what the findings mean, what remains unknown, and why there are reasons for hope. We also want to remind you that support is available.

Dr. Michael Alosco, co-primary investigator of the BANK CTE Study, has recorded a brief video to help put these findings into context.
