The love of the game and the risk of the injuries. This episode is about athletic injuries and the long-term risks of a form of dementia called chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Increasing awareness of the potential consequences of athletic concussions at all ages has led to rule changes, improved protocols for managing concussions during and after games, and research with helmets and other equipment.
