Brainstorm: Head Injuries And The Nfl, Part 13: End Of Regulation Play, John J. Medina Ph.D.

Brainstorm

In my last column I talked about my skepticism about the relationship between head injuries, CTE, and mental illness. I promised that in this, my last installment in the series, I would elaborate on some of the gaps that need filling. As I endeavor to fulfill that promise, I’ll also provide some perspective for future research.

Brainstorm: Head Injuries And The Nfl, Part 12: Grump Factor, John J. Medina Ph.D.

Brainstorm

I begin this entry on a sad note. While writing these last two installments in our series concerning CTE and the NFL, I found out about legendary linebacker Junior Seau’s suicide.

Brainstorm: Head Injuries And The Nfl, Part 11: Microglial Cells, John J. Medina Ph.D.

Brainstorm

We are trying to understand the biology of CTE at the most intimate level possible, the level of cells and molecules. The last entry dealt with the tau protein and its role in mediating closed­-head neural damage. In this installment, let’s consider the role of microglial cells, a little wisp of a cell type with a great big job.

Brainstorm: Head Injuries And The Nfl, Part 10: The Tau Of Cte, Continued, John J. Medina Ph.D.

Brainstorm

In our last installment, I wrote about a protein called tau, which necessitated talking about salt. I said that when neurons suffer the types of injury associated with CTE, part of the damage occurs because of a change in salt distribution between the inside of a neuron and its immediate outer exterior.

Brainstorm: Head Injuries And The Nfl, Part 9: The Tau Of Cte, John J. Medina Ph.D.

Brainstorm

These next two entries all about a protein called tau, which you have probably never heard of before. To understand CTE, however, we need to understand some critical biology surrounding tau. And to do that, we have to discuss something of which you have heard all your life. To talk about tau, we have to talk about salt.
