Exposure to repetitive head impacts is associated with corpus callosum microstructure and plasma total tau in former professional American football players

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Jun 26, 2021

Kochsiek J, O'Donnell LJ, Zhang F, et al. - This retrospective cohort study was undertaken to determine if repetitive head impacts (RHI) exposure is correlated with later-life corpus callosum (CC) microstructure and whether CC microstructure is related to plasma total tau and neuropsychological/neuropsychiatric functioning. Participants in the study were 75 former professional American football players (age 55.2 ± 8.0 years) with cognitive, behavioral, and mood symptoms. Findings point to a link between RHI exposure, CC microstructure, plasma total tau, and clinical functioning in ex-professional American football players.
