We’ve learned that the brain is responsible for receiving signals and moving your body. Based on your knowledge of CTE, what else is the brain responsible for?
The brain is also responsible for regulating emotions, controlling cognitive functions such as memory and learning, and coordinating various bodily functions such as breathing and heart rate. Additionally, the brain plays a role in controlling behavior, decision-making, and overall mental health. In the case of CTE, the brain can undergo significant structural and functional changes that impact these various functions, leading to symptoms such as mood changes, cognitive impairment, and behavioral problems.
