. >> host: something as driving a car, 16 they don't have the judgment and their frontal lobes are nots developed. but, you know people of all ages are doing it and in part because they are assuming that they can handle this and driving is so habitual but it shouldn't take those frontal lobes. isn't that one kind of assumption? and you are saying that when we are tired or when we do face this situation where we need to spy on the very debate could -- slam on the brakes it doesn't react as quickly as we want. >> guest: me to no mistake, driving deaths are an epidemic that we haven't solved. this is not a situation where people are doing some overtly negligent behavior, drinking themselves into a coma, taking a gun into the square. these are people driving to the destinations they want to reach with good hearts not hoping to hurt anybody and 30 to 40,000 people a year die he and i would bring something up your statistically. one of the issues that for a while they brought up and they don't anymore driving fatalities have come down in the u.s.. that is true but two other things are also t

having your head hit many, many times, programs thousands of times corks result in injury to the frontal lobethat results in the extreme behaviors, we don't know for sure. it is hard for medicine and science to really predict or explain all human behavior. >> and doctor, every human is different. it may be a number of hits on someone's head versus someone else's that might not have the impact or is that an overstatement? >> you're exactly right. it is individualized and perhaps there is a genetic aspect to this as it is with so many thing in our lives and our health. so again, i think that it is perhaps a piece of the puzzle that we're beginning to understand more. >> so is that a defense for someone who possibly could be involved in a domestic violence situation? and how in your opinion should the nfl move forward with this kind of information? i mean, is someone responsible for their behavior if they're suffering from cte? >> well, that's a question i don't think that we have answers or i have the answers. but a very good question. and is brain injury enough to explain and excuse or give a

. >> we've doctor sagan this tumor is in frontal lobe that it is right in the area every brain where you make your decision. >> right. rational, emanates from that area. >> she so she making the right proper decision. >> he said woe have to have a sit down with her to know. come back again and make sure that she is really thinking this is what she wants to do. >> remind everybody here, because there are so many tweets about the religious element of this story, want to make sure that we're hearing you, and we're looking at those tweets specifically. >> fox 29. >> here is another aspect. this is going to be on the crumby side of this. you know that all of these very famous tv celebrities will want to get an interview with her as is it gets closer to november 1st. >> ya. >> we'll zoo if that happens, man there is will be huge story on the day before, and the day of. >> if in fact she goes through with it, vast majority, who don't go. >> like november 1st, changes her mind. >> changes her mind. >> or operates not to use them at all. >> just newly married, and going to have kids but they

alarming rates such that by the end of the year, some of these kids had no function in one of their frontal lobes. we need to take a step back right at this moment and remind ourselves that these are high school students at a public high school. taxpayer-funded public high school. try to imagine what would happen in another context if there was, for instance, a gas leak in the cafeteria that was shown to be causing diminished brain function in high school students. how quickly would that school be shut down, would the media, lawyers, parents, school officials, maybe federal officials descend to shut it down? because it's within the context of football, it's on a field, we sell popcorn, there's clear heeders, it's heroic and in many ways a kind of cohesive event for the community to organize around. but the same thing is happening inside those helmets, and that's what i mean about the medical science catching up with football. when i say that football has a, doesn't have a concussion problem, i think it has a violence problem, and it has a physics and physiology problem. the physics are going to r

in just the frontal lobe, you see it restricted to inside tissue. this was a brand new technique developed by a scholar in our lab. >> i'm going to have to say thank you. it's very promising. thank you. >> yes, thank you. gentlemen from newy is jerse recognized. >> thank you, mr. chairman. dr. johnston, you stated that many sports related concussions still go undiagnosed and i would like to know why in your opinion that is the case and how can we improve that? the state laws and also the involvement of coaches and players and pta's, areas where we need to have improvement? >> thank you for the question. i think i would echo what has been said by others on the panel. sorry. i would echo what's been said by others on the panel that i think a lot has to do with recognition. people are very good at recognizing when someone gets knocked out. but of course that's a small percentage of all concussions. as our understanding of all the various symptoms that can go with concussion have arisen. it becomes incumbent upon us to improve the quality of the educati
