We believe this stalk is damaged during repeated head traumas and even
subconcussive impacts.
But scientists have worried that cumulative damage from heading's repeated

People with mild concussions can display no symptoms despite damage to the brain, and development of CTE is the cumulation of many

A number of top concussion researchers also believe that real - time monitoring of
impacts could help reduce the total amount of brain trauma from repeated
subconcussive blows by identifying athletes sustaining a large number of such hits due to improper blocking or tackling technique.
The number of scientists and clinicians who have called over the last several years for more accurate reporting by the media on concussions and CTE, criticized the reporting of strongly presented causal assumptions relating to concussive and
subconcussive brain
impact exposure as «scientifically premature,» and highlighted the negative real world consequences to such one - sided reporting, has grown to consensus proportions, but have largely flown beneath the media's radar.
I wasn't talking then about total head trauma - a concept popularized by MomsTEAM's concussion expert emeritus, Dr. Robert Cantu - or discussing the effect of repetitive
