Why is it important?
Even mild head injuries can lead to an elevated risk of later-life cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative disease.
Perspectives
Still, the true challenge remains the prediction of neurodegeneration risk following TBI, thus in PCS and CTE. Further studies in high-risk populations are required to establish specific, preferably non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers for CTE, considering the aim of preventive medicine.
