Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, or CTE, is a neurodegenerative disease caused by traumatic brain injury and most frequently associated with contact sports such as American Football. Perhaps surprisingly, the woodpecker - an animal apparently immune to the effects of head impacts - has increasingly figured into debates surrounding CTE.
