#braindisease — Public Fediverse posts

Ah, the #BBC has finally discovered #Canada and decided to dive into a "mysterious" brain disease—because who doesn't love a good old medical thriller with no resolution? 🤔 Spoiler alert: the answer is still nothing, but at least we got a world tour of irrelevant headlines along the way. 🌍🗞️

The gunman who killed 4 people in a NYC office building in July had #CTE, the degenerative #BrainDisease linked to repeated #HeadInjuries sustained in #football & other contact sports….

CTE can be diagnosed only posthumously. Shane Tamura,…a former HS #football player, shot himself in the chest after killing 4 people & left a note that said his motive was anger at the #NFL, which he blamed for hiding the effects of CTE In the note, he asked that his brain be studied.
