“The patient experienced early onset cog decline & developed dementia in his mid-50s, after playing soccer for 12 yrs at pro level. While the clinical picture mimicked AD, amyloid PET imaging did not provide evidence of elevated beta-amyloid plaque density”actaneurocomms.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Check out NEwTON’s newest publication! Severe CTE and TDP-43 in a former professional soccer player. A pathological case report, supported by clinical and biomarker data. Great team effort from colleagues at Alzheimercentrum Amsterdam and Boston University CTE Center
