what's really been stumping us i think as physicians it is not easily detectable, right. you have got a lot of psychiatric symptoms. you can't see it very well on images of the brain. so it didn't occur to us. i've think that's been the gap, really, that this has been, what everyone calls an invisible injury. >> this is the world's largest cte brain bank. >> the only foolproof way to diagnose cte is testing a post-mortem brain. >> full of hundreds of brains. >> hundred. thousands really. >> researchers carefully dissect sections of the brain where they look for changes in the fold of the frontal lobes. an area responsible for memory, judgment, emotions, impulse control, and personality. >> do you see there is a little tiny hole there? an abnormality. a clear abnormality. and what would that affect? >> well it is part of the memory circu circuit. you can see that clear hole there shouldn't be there. it is connecting the important, you know, memory

of the 102 veterans brains, the doctor examined. 66 had cte. >> i can understand a football player who keeps hitting his head and having impact and concussions. but how is it that, the combat veteran who may be just experience aid blast has the same type of injury? >> this blast injury causes a tremendous sort of ricochet or, or a whiplash injury to the brain inside the skull. and that's what gives rise off to the same changes that we see in football players, as in, military veterans. >> the blast trauma was first recognized in world war i. known as shell shock, poorly protected soldiers often died immediately or went on to suffer physical and psychological symptoms. today, sophisticated armor allows more soldiers to walk away from an explosion. but exposure can still damage the brain an injury that can worsen over time.

>> not a new injury. what's really been stumping us i think as physicians it is not easily detectable, right. you have got a lot of psychiatric symptoms. you can't see it very well on images of the brain. so it didn't occur to us. i've think that's been the gap, really, that this has been, what everyone calls an invisible injury. >> this is the world's largest cte brain bank. >> the only foolproof way to diagnose cte is testing a post-mortem brain. >> full of hundreds of brains. >> hundred. thousands really. >> researchers carefully dissect sections of the brain where they look for changes in the fold of the frontal lobes. an area responsible for memory, judgment, emotions, impulse control, and personality. >> do you see there is a little tiny hole there? an abnormality. a clear abnormality. and what would that affect? >> well it is part of the memory

they come out of -- what is a near lethal blast exposure. just like our military servicemen and women do. and they ha peer to be fine. what we know is that -- that that brain, is not the same after that exposure as it was, microsecond before. and if there is a subsequent exposure, that change will be accelerated. ultimately this triggers a neurodegenerative disease. in fact we can see that even after one of the exposures. >> the department of defense, hundreds of thousands of soldiers who experience aid blast like this. what does that tell you? >> this is a disease and problem we are going to be dealing with for decades. and it is a huge public health problem. huge problem for the veterans administration.
