Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy is a disease that affects the brain and is caused by repeated head drauma. This disease kills cells in the brain responsible for mood, emotions, and executive functioning. Boston University created CSTE, Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy, to conduct studies and look at former athletes brains and determine the causes of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. At the site, it offers the chance for people after they've died, to donate their brain to CSTE and have it used to conduct studies and research on Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy.
