Interesting new article commenting on the quality of CTE research and claims of causality.

Congratulations to Victor Del Bene and colleagues on publication of this great paper in Annals of Neurology!

@BUexperts @bu_cte @annmckeemd @statnews @aWise_MD Statements like "contact sports cause CTE" are misleading and a major component of why the narrative is outpacing the science. "CTE is associated with playing contact sports in former athletes who donated their brain to a CTE brain bank" would be more appropriate.

[William B. Barr @WB_BARR]

Interesting that Huntington's disease (HD) researchers do not claim that CAG repeats cause suicide in HD patients. In contrast, some #CTE researchers characterize suicide as a core symptom, resulting from the presence of abnormal tau. Go figure.

High blood pressure in midlife affects cognition in later life. Great to see this published. Too many retired athletes don't recognise the importance of monitoring blood pressure in mid life. Focus is on effects of brain injury. Hypertension is modifiable https://t.co/aFGq7eNWD5

Adolescents with ADHD exhibit greater diminishment in cognitive functioning following #concussion . No difference from non-ADHD adolescents in symptom reporting; however, there were group differences in endorsement rates for several individual symptoms.

Interesting finding!

💥New research uncovers gaps in understanding on-field head impacts among #youthfootball players & parents. This valuable insight paves the way for enhanced education & informed consent practices.

I will be maintaining my faculty status at NYU on a part-time basis for continued teaching and research in addition to starting a private practice (part-time) specializing in forensic neuropsychology. Plan on hearing more from me on Twitter!

[William B. Barr @WB_BARR]

Feeling very lucky to have so many positive experiences and to have established so many great friendships during my career in neuropsychology. My sincere thanks to all of you! Looking forward to the next chapter of my life and career.
