Football Brains...

A new study from JAMA included information about brain damage and football players.  Brain damage was diagnosed in 87% of donated brains of 202 football players, including all but one of 111 brains of NFL players.  Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy or CTE is the term used for brain damage that occurs after repeated blunt impact, like football head tackles.  The symptoms of a damaged brain can include memory loss, depression, dementia, sensitivity to light, lack of energy. 

LENS can help people to recover from brain injury, the sooner the better.  Don"t just get side lined, the long term consequences can be problematic.
