Aaron Hernandez Advanced CTE

Worst case of CTE the doctors have ever seen.

Aaron Hernandez's CTE was unusually severe, doctor says - CNN

This graphic from the Boston University CTE Center shows the classic features of CTE in the brain of Aaron Hernandez. There is severe deposition of tau protein in the frontal lobes of the brain (top row). The bottom row shows microscopic deposition of tau protein in nerve cells around small blood vessels, a unique feature of CTE.
 
Not the worst case they have ever seen, the worst case his age they have seen. The sample size of dead football players his age who have been dissected and studied is not very sizable.

You're right. Thanks
 
At least bowlers don't get their brains bashed in so that stupid, fat people can have something to cheer about in their boring, mundane miserable lives. Not to mention, bowlers need to be able to add and stuff instead of just being able to count to ten.

Not really, the computer does all the work these days.
