To detect CTE while alive, a test for another brain disease may help
Early research suggests a potential avenue for detecting chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) while a patient is still living. Scientists have observed that a protein commonly associated with Alzheimer’s disease may also serve as an indicator of brain conditions linked to head trauma, particularly those experienced in contact sports. This discovery offers a promising, albeit preliminary, step toward earlier diagnosis.
