More to the story than #CTE. Head trauma may contribute to the development of astrocytic tau pathology reminiscent of aging. Mechanisms of pathogenesis and clinical correlates will be important to determine. Penn Neurosurgery Dr Willie Stewart Gabor G. Kovacs MD PhD FRCPC Eddie Lee Andrea Schneider
