Stephen Casper, a neuroscience historian and professor at Clarkson University, sets the record straight on the historical connection between brain injuries in sports and long-term health issues.
Among the things we learn:
- The scientific community has known about this connection much longer than you think.
- How the rise of sports medicine led to a (wrong) perception that brain injury research is a new thing.
- Whether some people might be genetically predisposed to getting CTE, and what that means.
- Why every doctor associated with the NFL and NCAA has no excuse for being unaware of this history.
