1 小时 4 分钟What is killing young athletes at the peak of physical performance? A medical bank of over 1,000 brains and 30 years of study shine a spotlight on the cause Dr Ann McKee is a world-renowned neurologist and the Director of Boston University’s CTE and Alzheimer’s Disease Research Centres. She leads groundbreaking research on the fatal neurodegenerative disease known as Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). In this conversation, Dr Ann and Steven discuss topics such as, the devastating symptoms of CTE, how young athletes are at risk of CTE, why the NFL are keeping the disease a secret, and the health risks of heading a football. 00:00 Intro 02:14 Ann McKee's Mission on CTE 03:37 What Is CTE? 05:05 Sports Most Likely to Cause CTE 06:06 How Fragile Is the Human Brain? 06:41 What Ann McKee Does in Her Research 07:15 The First Time Ann Saw a Brain with CTE 10:39 How Many Athletes Have CTE? 12:26 How CTE Affects Daily Life 13:58 Young Athletes Impacted by CTE 14:33 Wyatt Bramwell’s Story: A Tragic Case of CTE 18:08 When Do Signs of CTE First Appear? 21:21 How Does CTE Develop in the Brain? 23:48 Jeff Astle: CTE in Soccer 24:45 Challenges in Raising Awareness About CTE 27:42 The NFL's Contact With Ann McKee 28:17 The NFL’s Early Reactions to CTE 30:01 The Impact of CTE on Families 30:29 Why Ann McKee Cares About the Families 32:26 The Pressure of Studying CTE 32:58 The NFL's Shift on CTE and Lawsuits 34:36 Owain Thomas: CTE Case Study 36:08 NFL Helmet Safety and CTE 37:51 The Four Stages of CTE Explained 40:22 Aaron Hernandez: The Link to CTE 44:28 Mike Webster's Battle with CTE 45:14 The Progress Ann McKee Wants to See in CTE Research 46:17 Do We Really Need Contact in Sports? 50:18 Preventing Alzheimer’s Through Brain Health 53:16 Are Brain Diseases Like CTE Increasing? 53:46 How Inflammation in the Brain Worsens Diseases 56:50 Ann McKee’s Advice for Parents of Young Athletes 58:22 Ann’s Message to the NFL and Sports Organisations 59:33 The Final Question: What's Next for CTE Research?

In a study of 152 young athletes, most of them had brain damage from small repetitive hits to the head.
And it really destroys a person's life.
That is shocking news, but medical professionals don't take it seriously.
And the NFL wanted me to present my findings, but they didn't believe me.
And so there was a huge effort to really discredit me.
Dr.
Ann McKee is the world leading brain scientist who runs the world's biggest brain bank.
She's revealing groundbreaking research on the serious life threatening consequences of playing sport.
These injuries are acceleration, deceleration very rapidly and twisting of the brain.
And that frays the nerve cells and then over time the disease progresses.
And this protein called tau, it stains brown and it starts spreading through the brain.
And we have lots of evidence that this is happening in contact sports, but also in military veterans, domestic violence, et cetera.
And it causes depression, personality changes, aggressive and violent behaviors.
Or maybe the person takes their own life.
Look at Aaron Hernandez and Wyatt Bramwell, 18 years old.
He was an American football player and he videotaped himself before taking his own life.
My head is pretty messed up and damaged.
The voices and demons in my head just started to take over everything I wanted to do.
He shot himself in the heart instead of the head because it was his dying wish to donate his brain.
Yeah, I saw multiple CTE lesions in many parts of his brain caused by.
