DOI: 10.1089/neu.2022.0060
Abstract: Traumatic encephalopathy syndrome (TES) criteria were developed to aid diagnosis of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) pathology during life. Interpreting clinical and biomarker findings in patients with TES during life requires autopsy-based determination of the neuropathological… read more here.
