Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the impact of repetitive head impacts (RHI) on cognitive decline and dementia by examining the brains of 571 donors exposed to RHI, focusing on 13 different neuropathologies.
- It was found that a significant majority (77.2%) of these donors exhibited moderate to severe neurodegenerative or cerebrovascular issues, with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) being the most common pathology.
- The research highlights that several pathologies, including Alzheimer’s disease and Lewy body disease, are interrelated and contribute significantly to cognitive impairment in individuals with a history of RHI.
Early life adversity (ELA) is associated with altered neural development and increased risk for the development of psychopathology across the lifespan. Rodent models of ELA are an important tool for investigating the possible mechanistic underpinnings of pathology development. We used a limited bedding and nesting model (LBN) to induce stress in the dam and alter dam-pup interactions during a sensitive period in early postnatal development.
