These images show areas of the brain where an experimental brain scan detected higher abnormal tau protein in a group of former NFL football players than compared to a group of a control subjects. The former football players in the study have self reported cognitive, mood and behavior symptoms that are thought to be associated with CTE. Courtesy of the New England Journal of Medicine
